Julia Lindsey's new book answers teachers' persistent questions: "How should I rethink small groups, given what reading science is telling us?" "How should I group kids?" and "How do I plan and implement instruction to teach them most effectively?" Lindsey offers teachers a lens through which to see specific "sticking points" (needs) that students typically have and respond with routines and methods based on empirical research. This targeted, purpose-driven approach—sometimes requiring as little as five minutes of instructional time—moves the needle for all readers, regardless of where they fall on the developmental spectrum. Small Groups, Big Results gives grades K-5 teachers a new gameplan—a framework for planning small-group reading, PLUS specific, actionable assessments and teaching moves to build better readers.
