Literature Circles are my favorite way to work with reading groups that have independent skills and that need to be extended. This pack encourages holding hearty discussions about texts. Through Literature Circles you will see your students devise questions, share roles and challenge each other. When starting Literature Circles introduce a role at a time for a favorite picture story book and discuss the roles and how they might look. When all roles have been covered give students the opportunity to go back and check each role as needed. Then group your grade so that they have access to a text to share.
