Guided Reading/Small group lessons are the individualized sessions in which you help children develop as readers based on their needs, challenges, and
sometimes their preferences. Select text according to your children’s instructional level. You may use the books suggested in the teacher’s guide, select from the Leveled Readers Database (pages 112-123 of the CLLG), or your campus’ guided reading library.

Independent Reading: Independent literacy work includes meaningful and productive activities for children to do while you work with small groups. This is an
opportunity for your students to build mileage as readers, to develop good independent work skills, to collaborate with others, and to work at their own pace. The Suggested Weekly Focus for each lesson provides options for independent work that expand on the week’s instruction. (Fountas, CLLG p6) Read independently for a sustained period of time and summarize or paraphrase what the reading was about, maintaining meaning and logical order. (4.9A) See Independent Reading in CSCOPE Exemplar Daily Lessons for additional ideas. http://www.mycscope.us/module/content/search/cscopebrowse/~/item/673124/viewdetail.ashx

In the morning, very early, That’s the time I love to go
Barefoot where the fern grows curly And grass is cool between each toe,
On a summer morning-O!
On a summer morning! That is when the birds go by Up the sunny slopes of air,
And each rose has a butterfly Or a golden bee to wear;
And I am glad in every toe –
On a summer morning-O! On a summer morning!
