This book offers intermediate-grade teachers sixteen different options for small-group instruction for students who need to: construct basic meaning about a text, reinforce particular comprehension skills and strategies, and learn the art of discourse leading to higher-level critical and creative thinking. It includes all of the resources teachers need to implement these instructional formats: rubrics and checklists, planning templates, prompts, and so much more. Teachers will also learn how to differentiate their RTI instruction and embed the Common Core State Standards into small-group instruction.
