Organizing Guided Reading Groups

It can be somewhat difficult to keep tabs on the different levels of students within a classroom.  When I taught first grade I used a system similar to this one to keep track of levels.  This system can use post-it notes or dry erase markers.  All you need is a manila folder and glue.  See directions below.  This was a huge time saver for me in the classroom.  I was able to easily store the folder in my guided reading binder.

More on Guided Reading...

I know that I have already talked about how I document my guided reading groups.  However, I created an up close and personal look at parts of the documentation.  As I previously mentioned, I was struggling with taking notes on reading behaviors at different reading levels..  Was I looking for the right thing? was that age appropriate? etc.. These forms for note taking at different reading levels have been extremely useful.  Hope you can use these..
