Re: [MOSAIC] First Grade Guided Reading Groups
This is a great question, Jessica! You named the struggle that so many students and teachers have, I think especially in high-poverty schools. Our students are smart and capable, but it is a struggle to engage them and to sustain their attention!! I love the suggestion about 20 minutes of sustained physical activity in the morning. Our school is under such intense scrutiny from the school district and the state, it would take a year to get permission for that exercise program! Keep up the good work! Our kids are worth it : ) On Sat, Mar 9, 2013 at 2:58 PM, Jessica Paz jessica@selu.edu wrote: Good Afternoon, I am a first grade teacher and I am always looking for ways to increase rigor in my guided reading groups.

Has anybody done any research on the number of (apparent) adhd students and causes, and more importantly, how to teach to them?

Scholastic sells a book called The Next Step in Guided Reading and it's loaded with very specific ideas for each level in guided reading.
