I really liked their lesson plans, but as you can tell there is not a scope/sequence to these plans. I pulled lessons based on two things: the levels of my students and the content they were working on in general ed. For example, if 3rd grade was working on main idea in homeroom class that week, then I would also do a main idea in the resource classroom. The students would be exposed and taught main idea in class and then retaught the concept in resource. I used text that was at their level to teach the concepts. I may have two or three different levels of students in class as well, so I would have to pull more than one level of text and have groups, which is why I used a Daily 5 type of rotation in class. <br />Other years during reading, I have used Reading Mastery. It is a great program. If my students in resource had more basic reading type goals I would use this program. I would also incorporate a sight word practice time and use time delay to teach sight words.<br />If you are looking for a scope and sequence, I would use the grade level curriculum maps. If your district does not have these, then plan closely with your grade level teams, ask them what units/lessons they are teaching and plan based on that. I hope that makes sense and answers your questions!

There is no specific curriculum for me to follow and that is what I am having a hard time with. I would love to find something with a scope and sequence that can guide me and help me with my planning. I do have an account with Reading A-Z along with Reading Street but I would like to stick with one instead of moving back and forth. Any suggestions? I find that the hour I have these kids is too much time! That can't be right, can it? What else can I do to make sure I am giving them meaningful teaching time?

After all of the letters are learned, go to blends, sight words, and so on until you can work up to short phrases. Don't feel bad about changing things...that's something I've had to learn myself. The key is to find what works and you may go through several "systems" before you find a good fit!<br />KimKim @ Mrs. Hs Resource Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04328211791741452340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6753139138995738154.post-57604050010813870652015-09-29T22:40:28.019-04:002015-09-29T22:40:28.019-04:00Thanks for the post!

I have been having trouble with my reading block with my students and this has really helped. I feel bad because I keep changing things on them but I am trying to find a system that will most benefit. I have a group I am struggling with. In this 2nd grade group I have readers and some who are still learning the alphabet and sounds. Would you still do fluency passages with these students?

One thing I never take a break from is the timed readings. My favorite has been Readlive by Read Naturally. Even the free trial lasts 60 days so it is a great program to try. It's very kid and teacher friendly if you have access to a computer for that center.
