How to Plan, Teach, and Extend Elementary Small Group Reading Lessons

Teaching small group lessons is essential in upper elementary!

We know that within every 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classroom, you’ll find a wide range of ability levels.

In order to make our classrooms as equitable as possible, we must tailor our teaching to each student’s instructional level.

But this is no easy task! (Usually.)

With class sizes growing every year, The Teacher Next Door can help you create a plan to ensure that your small group lessons are easy to plan, easy to teach, and are easy to extend.

Erica from The Teacher Next Door Team will walk you through how to do just that in the video below!

This video is a Bonus Module in The Teacher Next Door’s Free Reading Center Training Course. Enrollment for the course is currently closed. If you’d like to be notified when doors open again, fill out the form beneath this video!

Hi, I’m Jenn, CEO and owner of The Teacher Next Door!

I know that you strive to be an effective upper elementary teacher while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

In order to do that, you need resources that are impactful,
yet simple.

The problem is that most resources and curriculums out there are far from simple. The pages upon pages of daily lesson plans are just plain overwhelming.

At TTND, we believe teachers should be living their lives outside of the classroom, and not spend hours lesson planning and searching for resources.

We understand that now, more than ever, teachers need space to be themselves which is why we create and support teachers with timesaving tips and standards-aligned resources.
