265 Graphic Organizers that Builds Comprehension Graphic Organizers is a great way to keep track of students learning throughout the year. The Reading binders can be organized and customized by dividers with colored tabs into sections matching the comprehension strategies that you teach.

While students are writing, the teacher walks around the room and informally conference with each student.  Afterwards, the teacher records specific information from each conference on a clipboard and move to the next student for individual conference time.  I usually only conference for about 2-5 minutes with each child.  Then students are given have a short time for sharing.  Checkout these cool editing
