I wasn't sure how to group my students or how often to meet with them.
I struggled with classroom management and holding students accountable for center work.
I felt like I was spending all of my planning time trying to find new center activities every week.
My district didn't offer any training for small groups, and I didn't know where to get help.
I realized that teaching reading in small groups was the BEST thing I could do for all of my readers!
I was able to plan meaningful center activities in less planning time.
My students were actually completing their center work every day.
Classroom management during small groups was easier than ever.
Best of all, my students were thriving in reading because I was able to teach targeted small group lessons!

The first module is all about getting your mindset and your classroom ready for successful small group teaching! You'll learn the components of the ELA block, how to structure your small group lessons, what the rest of your class should be doing while you teach small groups, and how to set up your classroom for small group success.
Module 2 goes over planning each of your reading centers. You'll learn how I simplify my planning process by using 5 must-have centers every week. We'll dig into each center and what it looks like in your classroom. You'll also get BONUS activities to use in each center!
This module is all about grouping your students and scheduling your small groups. I'll share a step by step process for creating your groups and schedules that will save you time and headaches! You'll get sample schedules, templates, and a Digital Center Rotation board (one of my best-selling TPT resources) as a special bonus in this module.
As with anything else in your classroom, the first few weeks are most important. In this module, I'll outline a classroom tested 3-week launch plan to get your small groups started on the right foot! You'll get a launch plan for each week, complete with sample lessons to tell you exactly how to introduce small groups and centers to your students. You'll also get bonus reflection sheets and activities to use in your classroom.
The last module is all about managing student behavior during your small groups and centers. You'll learn how to prevent misbehavior before it starts, what to do when students make poor behavior choices, and how to handle it if the entire class is struggling with behavior during small groups.
I want you to be 100% successful with small groups in your classroom, so I'm including over $50 worth of bonus resources for you...
