I grouped very carefully, based on the end of year assessments required by our district and quickly modified as I worked to get to know these readers as people. The assessments used in my previous district included the DRA and monthly running records. I also made it a point to do a running record and conference with every student using self-selected text within the first two weeks. Gave me insight into their interests as well as their abilities.
