Lesson Implementation

It is important to note that the interactive activities in the Supplemental

Guide count on the teacher as the “ideal reader” to lead discussions,

model proper language use, and facilitate interactions among student

partners.

Student Grouping

Teachers are encouraged to assign partner pairs prior to beginning a

domain and partners should remain together for the duration of the

domain. If possible, English Language Learners should be paired with

native English speakers, and students who have limited English oral

language skills should be paired with students who have strong English

language skills. Keep in mind that in some instances a group of three

would benefit beginning ELLs and an older student or adult volunteer

may be a better arrangement for some students with disabilities.

Partnering in this way promotes a social environment where all students

engage in collaborative talk and learn from one another.

In addition, students of the same home language should have

opportunities to work together, fostering their first-language use and

existing knowledge to construct deeper meanings about new information.
