Turn your typical reading conference/guided reading group into an “office visit” where you give a diagnosis for each patient and write a prescription to diagnose a “cure” for each student’s reading aliments. For example, one student might have “reading race-itis” because they have the tendency to race through every book they read without really thinking about what they are reading. As a result, they need a daily boost of medication to cure their symptoms. One common remedy for this type of illness might be to stop after every chapter and write a sticky note about what they were thinking as they were reading.

This would be fun to do during a goal-setting session, the end of the quarter, during a review of data, or even during a typical guided reading lesson/reading conference.

This resource includes the following:

1. Directions, ideas, and pictures for implementation

2. Colorful printables to post in your “doctor’s office.” Display your office hours, patients you will be seeing that day, and welcome signs.

3. Possible reading diagnoses for some common reading ailments, such as Reading Blues, Reading Race-itis, Decoding-itis, Reading Rash, and Base Case of Books.

4. Reading doctor prescriptions printables- Examples, pictures, and directions for how to write a “cure” for your patients

5. Guided reading, reading conference, and anecdotal notes forms- Attach these to a clipboard to use for your patients during their office visit

6. Guided reading and reading conference “goodies” for a compliant patient- After meeting with your patients, you might consider rewarding them with a lollipop, a “bravery” certificate, or a special note home!

7. Reading doctor art project/bulletin board project- An adorable art project to display on your bulletin board! Includes reading kit templates, prescription, and pictures of a finished project.

Some of my customers have requested that I just sell the cover pages for the Teacher Reading Binder. This file includes ONLY the cover pages for the Teacher Reading Binder.

This is a POWERPOINT file, which means that you will be able to insert a text box and type in your own cover binder titles.

When the Venn diagram is complete, I like to take a picture of it. I photocopy the picture and have my students glue it in their reader’s notebook. I also place the picture on an anchor chart next to my guided reading bulletin board. Whenever a student needs a reminder about one of the expectations, I just refer to the anchor chart as a friendly reminder of our lesson.

***This file is included in my Teacher Reading Binder resource as well. Per customer request, I am also selling this lesson separately!!***

These clean, simple, and colorful posters are great for a bulletin board display. This file includes 10 different reading strategies.
