This was an interesting two days, following four days off. A few kids reminded me that I met with them yesterday but not today. Really. I can't get to 8 groups and all individuals in one hour and twenty minutes of reading time. My lower level readers are doing a wonderful job of choosing independent reading books. There is a small group of students who still think they can "pretend" read and no one will know they are faking it. Any ideas on how to get them more engaged???
