[Understand] Reading Specialists in Literacy Studio

[Lynnelle Snowbarger]

I am not a specialist, but a regular ed core classroom teacher. Currently, I 
am setting up the expectations of literacy studio in my classroom.  After 
procedure has been established, I would like for our specialists to come 
into the classroom and work with a small group. I send our specialist what 
our mini-lessons are for the week in the core area and they have access to 
my notes that I have on each student. Also, if it is their silent reading 
time..you could pull and "read" with them. Maybe work on fluency or 
reinforce the mini-lesson. I do this during their silent reading time and it 
proved successful last year. Right now, I am working on building stamina 
with reading and writing, so I try not to interrupt. Soon, I will be 
conferring during this time either individually or in small instructional 
groups.  Hope this helps!
