It is difficult to get it all in every day.

In our district, we have Intensive Reading classes, which I taught for 4 years. I had the 18 lowest students on my grade level and was given an assistant for 90 min. per day. I did both the standard reading curriculum and SRA. I can't imagine trying to do what I did in 2.5 hours a day. My schedule allowed me to spend 3 -3.5 hours per day in reading and I was also able to tie reading into Science and Social Studies (actually, I tied Science and Social Studies into reading.) Even then, I never had enough time. The only advice I could give you would be to try and integrate as much as possible. And maybe see if you can get any volunteers to come into your room to provide one on one practice to your students. I totally get your frustration. I wish someone out there had all of the answers. Good luck with your challenge.<br />Amy<br /><a href="http://www.adventuresinteaching.net" rel="nofollow">Adventures In Teaching</a><br />A Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14909218020395126548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096034025080652478.post-311762187035874902012-09-30T23:58:19.038-04:002012-09-30T23:58:19.038-04:00Hi Sarah,

Our school does do Tier 2 and Tier 3 reading interventions but those are taught by the reading specialists, Title 1 teacher, and special education teacher. It's so hard to fit everything in! Hopefully someone will reply with some great advice for all of us! :-)<br /><br />Karyn<br />Kideducator@comcast.net <br />Aisforapplebisforblog.blogspot.comKarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02466074766887132209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096034025080652478.post-14689232332825781782012-09-30T23:51:12.823-04:002012-09-30T23:51:12.823-04:00We have to teach Reading in 2 blocks, one in the m...We have to teach Reading in 2 blocks, one in the morning and in the afternoon, so there is not much room to teach tht other content areas. It is a struggle and I feel for you and know what you are going through. Just fit in and teach what you can, when you can. It is difficult, but with the schedule, I can only do so much.
