Apr 22, 2015 In 1st grade, we use Reading Street (2013) as our scope and sequence (which has worked out very well). We do use the phonics, must-know words, spelling words, and some of the comprehension from the program but pull from other resources for writing, guided reading, and our Daily 5/small-group times.
- Reading Street Group. Richland Schools. Spang Gang - online games. Tech Toolkit Wiki (SMART Response files only) Technology-Infused Activities. Tessa Samuel's Wikispace. Third Grade Group.

- Student-Led Conferences Successful in Elementary, Middle Grades As student-led conferences grow in popularity, educators are finding ways to improve their flow and productivity. Preparing students and parents for what's involved and practicing before 'going live' can help. Included: Descriptions of student-led conferences at different grade.

Abstract
This study examined the effects of integrating The Traits of Effective Readers into student-led literature circle discussion groups within the Title I reading classroom. This research was conducted with fourth grade students in an attempt to see if this method of instruction improved students' reading comprehension and motivation. The researcher was the teacher in the Title I classroom, and acted as a facilitator within the literature circle discussions.
The study results showed gains in students' comprehension in varying degrees, depending largely on the assessment used. Results from the attitude survey, however, showed that student motivation toward reading was significantly improved. The researcher recommends continued research using the Six Traits model integrated into student-led discussion groups to further explore the effects of this method of instruction with struggling readers.
