Creating a Schedule

o How much class time do I have?o Which components am I required to include?

(small groups, guided reading, independent reading)

o Which components would I like to include? (read aloud, book commercials, read around)

o What can I change to carve out time for independent reading?

o Remember the Rule of Thirds: 1/3 independent reading, 1/3 direct instruction & guided practice, 1/3 independent practice
