Guided Readers for 2.1

Notes:

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Michellefultz

I created this resource to be used as a weekly newsletter and/or as a teacher resource. I have been using the second grade resource for the past two years and it has been extremely helpful when I need to preview the skills for the week or plan lessons for the month. I still have a weekly newsletter but, I include this on the back. That way, I only write what I need and don't have to worry about page numbers, vocabulary words, etc. My students' parents also appreciated the convenience of having all the information located in one spot.

One problem that I found with the guided readers is that I would sometimes use them for more than a week. I am bad about putting things back where they belong so it was a huge hassle trying to figure out what order to put them in. As a result, I created a list of all the guided readers for the unit. That way, if you just happen to fall behind or are looking for that one set, you'll be able to use the list to help find what you need right away.

Finally, I decided to created a chart of the skills covered for each story in this unit. Hopefully, it will provide you with a quick look of how the unit progresses and how to plan accordingly.

Thank you for purchasing this product! I hope it is helpful.
