4 This is a new time added to every student’s schedule. It is a time to focus on the individual needs of each student providing intervention or enrichment as needed.

5 During guided reading I will teach reading strategies through mini-lessons and focus on skills and comprehension. Students will read leveled books individually, with partners and in small groups.
