We have kits called Lessons in Literacy from Great Source. There is one per grade level, packed with reading and writing lessons. Each comes in its own file folder with the lesson clearly explained for teachers. Inside are all the overheads and student hand outs that go with each lesson. While some lessons are a bit thin, others would be great for sub plans. Maybe getting one kit per grade level would allow all teachers to choose lessons to reinforce what they've done, or practice and review other things. The beauty of Lessons in Literacy is that everything is right there and clearly explained...makes it easy on the teacher for making sub plans and easy on the sub for delivery of a decent literacy lesson.

This year we have to be out of our classrooms for 3-hour blocks of time for professional development. It is impossible to leave a sub to juggle 3/4 separate reading groups. Does anyone have any resources or ideas for meaningful literacy work that can be left with a sub? At this time of the year my class is not yet independent enough to monitor their reading groups themselves. Leslie R.
