Complete Reading Learning Target List
(from Words Their Way)

For advanced readers:
 * more reader response about ind. rdg. books
 * write in journals, not worksheets
 * more non-fiction
 * literature circles
 * vocabulary work

Later in the year:
 * teach how to pick "just-right books"
 * move toward doing reader responses about independent reading books:
 * Start to have reading partners at sharing time. Share the same comprehension strategy they did that day for the read-aloud; then start to do the reader response about independent reading books

Tabs for readers' notebooks:

 * Guided Reading notes (teacher records teaching point from conference during guided reading)
 * Reader Response

30 minutes: Word study (not every day)

 * word study / spelling
 * introduce new concept on Mondays, with a practice time (20 minutes)
 * brainstorm lists of words that fit the rule
 * word hunt (make their own lists)
 * sorts
 * dictation of words to put in 3 columns
 * high-frequency words (Look, say, cover, write, check; buddy test; homework practice; dictation)
