Guided Reading Small-Group Planner — Groups, Running Records & Lesson Frames

Small-group reading falls apart in the gap between the data and the table. This 10-page planner covers that gap. Start with the group placement sheet — every student, their current level, the group you are putting them in and the skill that group is working on — then lock the week down on a rotation schedule that shows which groups you meet Monday through Friday, so no group quietly goes three weeks without you. A group profile page (reprint one per group) holds the students, levels, strengths and next focus for the cycle. The lesson frame is the heart of it: eight prompts that walk one session from the text you chose and why, through the introduction and the words you will plant, the prompts you will use when a reader gets stuck and what you will listen for, to word work and the after-reading discussion and teaching point. For assessment there is a running record sheet with separate columns for what the reader said, what the text says, errors and self-corrections, followed by an analysis page that turns those marks into an accuracy rate, a self-correction rate, a note on which cues the reader leaned on and one next step. A conferring and anecdotal notes log, a group session log and a regroup review page close the loop, so moving a child between groups is a decision you can point at. Every page is undated and curriculum-neutral — it works with any reading program and any leveling system you can write a level for, letters, numbers or bands.
