Thanks--Using non-fiction was going to be my next move--explicitly teaching
the conventions in large and small group while forming book clubs for above
level kids. This is just a different way of thinking than I did before.
Thanks for your help.

Deb -
Have you thought of using short story, poetry, and non-fiction text for
your grade level and above readers for reading group selections, and
having them form book clubs and choosing independent text for classroom
reading? Book clubs are a way for students to read longer text and
experience the social context of reading.

I'm new to teaching 4th grade--coming from second/third for 15 years. Now
that we are midway thru the year and a good amount of my students are on
level or above. My question is this---I'm stuggling with how to
incorporate
longer chapter books into my guided reading sessions. It seems that by
the
time I get back to the group--sometimes a week later, I'm afraid students
will loose momentum for the text. I've always taught my guided reading
groups with shorter texts, and still do. However, I'm running out of
those
multi copy options from our bookroom as students move up in level . How
do
you keep the chapter book groups going that don't meet with you every
day?
Do you always assign them chapters to read on the days in between?
thanks in advance for your help
