[MOSAIC] Reading Specialists Schedules

[lhaste at verizon.net]

In Virginia Beach each elementary school has a full time reading specialist who is serving as the Literacy Coach.  Depending upon the school needs and administration input, we meet remediation needs as well as coaching (lead teacher) in Language Arts.  
   I feel very lucky indeed to be in a school where we make decisions based upon school need (which may every few months).  This year we have a lot a new students to our school, and the remediation needs are great.  As a result, I spend probably 3/4's of my day in remediation.  I have really enjoyed reconnecting with students in need.  I LOVE MY JOB!!!

>>We meet with our groups 3-5 times a week for 40 minutes.  Scheduling is very tough!  Sometimes one student will have to miss because of conflicts.

>>I am interested in hearing from reading specialists who work with small
>>groups of children.  How many days a week do you see the same group of
>>students and for how long?  I don't feel I am able to get enough reading in
>>the way it is scheduled at my school.  I work with 3rd-5th grade and some
>>groups I only see for 45 minutes twice a week.  We have district mandated
>>curriculum that the students are required to receive in their homeroom

>>Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
>>Thank you,
