[MOSAIC] Building stamina

[Kristin Mitchell]

Ah, yes, it is.  But I teach 6th grade and have two guided reading groups a day I must teach, so I need the time!  We build up to it, we start at about 20 and then work out way up.  They have book baggies with multiple books and they respond/interact with their reading.  So not all of them read the entire 4 minutes.  Although some do.  AND, I just found out that four of my students think it's the best part of the day.

Besides, some days it's shorter when my "mini" lesson becomes un-mini.

  I have had fifth and sixth graders that want and need 45 minutes of read time.
