Guided Reading: Differentiating for Readers

“Wonderful information that I can use in my classroom!”

 

“Melissa has great ideas and does a great job of getting the ‘you can do this’ feeling across for a teacher that hasn’t done it before.”

“Very worthwhile Saturday training… completely worth every minute!”

 

 

“Melissa is the real deal. Her passion for what she does is contagious and motivational to her audience.”

“Melissa Leach is extremely knowledgeable in the area of Guided Reading and its application to differentiation and RtI. Not only was her session full of current and useful information, but her dynamic presentation style energized our participants and helped them see that they could take back information from this session and immediately apply it to classroom use.”

“You spread energy!”

I appreciate all of your hard work and efforts in helping our teachers understand the importance of developing lifelong readers through Reader’s Workshop, Shared Reading, and Guided Reading. Our teachers commented on being more excited and prepared to teach reading this year. Our teachers were talking and trying to figure out how and when they would do Reader’s Workshop, etc., and how their Reading time would flow. Thank you so much!  I am so glad you included the Reader’s Notebook in our workshop! What you shared about the notebooks was really useful! I am really excited about our teachers using Reader’s Notebooks this year! I could go on and on..!

Thank you!!

Melissa’s Reader’s and Writer’s Workshop was such a valuable training for K-4 teachers in Brazosport ISD. They received many strategies and ideas that they will be able to implement into their classrooms. Teachers feel more confident with the workshop method of teaching and are excited and eager to get started planning with their new ideas.

“I enjoyed your enthusiasm and passion for teaching new ideas to benefit children! Thank you!”

 

“Spending a day in the summer with you was very refreshing and purposeful learning. Your delivery of Balanced Literacy and Guided Reading is doable and possible!”
