I had the opportunity to work at Emafini Primary with another 2nd grade class today. I worked with Miss Thumi and her 45 wonderful students. One of the highlights of the day was during guided reading groups. We pulled two leveled guided reading groups and worked on decoding, fluency, and comprehension. Miss Thumi has seven guided reading groups in her class and reads with them at least once a week. She focuses on the skills students need to practice and reinforces those skills with small group instruction. We discussed the similarities and differences in our curriculum and how we prepare students to be successful readers. We also discussed and compared our formative assessments throughout the year. Although we are different in some ways, we're very much alike in others. It is always helpful to talk with fellow educators!
