Do Schools Still Use the 4blocks Model

by Christy

Jan 3, 2010

With reader's workshop, daily 5, and reading first centers going on, are there any schools that still use the 4 blocks as they were originally written? I have tried workshop, daily 5, and the dreaded centers. I really enjoy teaching 4 blocks style and am wanting to go back to that. As long as student achievement does not go down, our principal is o...See More

Guided Reading Strategies

by Rhonda

Feb 25, 2010

Maybe someone can lead me to the guided reading strategies that I printed off several years ago and put onto a ring. I'm certain they were different colors and each strategy could be cut apart and laminated. I looked on the Four Block "Goodies" page but didn't see them there...unless I missed them.

I have my set, but another teacher is loo...See More

jenny/2/oh This is what I would do:

Look at your copy. Enter some of the text verbatim inside quotation marks into google and search. See if it pops up that way. I do that a lot, often with positive results. If you find them, will you post a link for all of us?

Thanks!!

by Jeri

Mar 9, 2010

Hi, I've been teaching second and third grade for a long time and I've used 4 Block. Now our district want K-5 to use 4 block. I will be moving to a new position as a 4th and 5th grade remedial reading teacher. I don't know much about 4 Block in the upper grades and the fourth and fifth grade teachers have never even heard of 4 Block. Do any of you...See More

How long should the guided reading block be?

by Robin

Mar 27, 2010

We have been asked to begin using the 4-block model....and have been told that our guided reading block can only be 30 mins long....that 30 mins includes before-during and after! When I was using this model several years ago, I was thinking that I had 45 - 60 mins....but I may be mistaken. I am having a terrible time getting it all done in 30 mins....See More

Ques. about rdg. lesson resource books??

by alex

Sep 3, 2010

I am a new first grade teacher and am overwhelmed wwith all of the resource books out there for reading. Is there a MUST-HAVE that helps with sequence of lessons as well as help with how to implement these lessons? I saw 1 that was titled "When Readers Struggle" by Pinnell and Fountal....expensive but looked good on-line. Thank you for your help!
