Guided Reading Group Book Reports!

During Literacy Centers, the students have Guided Reading groups.  There are 4 groups of 4 students and the students are grouped based on similar reading levels.  In Guided Reading, I have chosen specific chapter (longer) books to supplement the Storytown Reading curriculum.

We read and discuss these books together during guided reading or the students buddy read or independently read-aloud with me, they are also able to read these books during silent reading time.

Upon completion of the books, the groups put together a book report for the class about their group's book to recommend the book to the rest of the class and display their understanding of the story for me.  I was very impressed at the creative and effort put into their book reports.

Here is their first book report!
