Literature circles are a great way to get kids talking about the books they read! I loved using them in 3rd and 4th grade and couldn't wait to try them with my high groups in 1st grade. So I decided to take what I had and create an easier version for my firsties. After creating them, I realized that I could have used them with my 3rd graders as well. I love that the directions and the work can be done/seen all on one page.
The following are a list of the jobs you can assign your students to do during your literature circles. You can assign a job after a short picture book from an author study or after reading a section/chapter in a chapter book. The directions are right on each job handout.
� Artful Artist
� Discussion Director
� Creative Connector
� Problem/Solution Detective
� Setting Sketcher
� Word Wizard
� Selection Summarizer
� Character Catcher
After reading a picture book and assigning a job or reading a chapter and assigning a job, you will need to meet with your group so they can share their assignment with the rest of the group. This should help focus a discussion of the reading. Everyone can have the same job or you can assign each person a different job. In the lower grades you will probably have them read one day, do the job the next and either meet right away after the job or before they do their next reading. Before getting started, you will need to model how to do each of the jobs properly.
These sheets are also great to use during stations�especially listening station, buddy reading, classroom library, etc!
**This packet has primary handwriting lines. I have another packet with regular, big kid lines.

Hi, This is cute but I was wondering where I can find the packet with the big kid lines and is there anyway for me to change something once I have purchased it. I am in second grade and need it to be a little more detailed like asking the who, what where and whys.

Hi! I've been asked to do reading enrichment with firsties (they're reading at mid to end of 1st grade levels and some are early second grade). I have the kids once per week for 30 minutes - yikes! Any suggestions for how I can use your lit circles package? Sounds like a great idea! I'm nervous though about what I can accomplish with 10 kids in such a short time. Thanks!

Your question is quite tricky--I thought about it but then got sidetracked. 1 important question is--will they have independent time in between your sessions to do work!? If so--- My only suggestion is to use your 30 min to explain the jobs, intro the book then assign reading/jobs to be done before meeting again. Feel free to email me with more info so I can help out :)

I purchased the wrong Lit Circles/Reading Response Journal package. I wanted the one for 2+ with regular lines (not the two lines). Can that be switched?
Thanks,

Do you have a Mac? If so you might need an updated adobe reader. Let me know if that worked.

I just bought your Literature Circles/ Reading Response Journals. When I downloaded it, the only text that will show is the teacher scoring sheet. I updated my adobe reader & tried it again with the same result. Can you drop it to me in an email? Thanks!

I bought and paid for this item - I can only print gray streaks - nothing is showing up. I would like my money back or tell me how to get the correct copies.

I am sorry you are having difficulty viewing/printing my product. I checked the PDF file and it seems to be working ok for me. In fact, I uploaded it again just to be sure and updated a couple of things. Please try to upload it again. Since it is a PDF file you do need Adobe Reader. If it doesn't work again I will be happy to email you a copy of my product if you send me your email address. Hope it works and thanks for purchasing my product!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I have been teaching since 2000. I started out in 4th grade for two years then went on to teach 3rd grade for 6 years. I have been teaching 1st grade ever since and have loved every bit of it. I believe all elementary teachers need to experience 1st grade for at least a year....there is so much learning and growing going on...it is amazing!
