This is such a pertinent video, Bridget. I feel that this time of the school year can be tricky to keep students focused and on track during mini lessons. We are in that long span of teaching between winter break and spring break. My favorite tip of yours was, "Keep it snappy!" I laughed out loud when you mentioned the kid who is fascinated by the frayed part of the carpet. LOL! 😂 So true! I feel that your video proves that mini lessons are small, but mighty. They set the kids up for what they will learning. I will come back to this video when I feel like my mini lessons are expanding into regular length lessons or I just need to tighten them up a bit. Thank you, Bridget, for clearly modeling your strategies to us and inspiring us to strengthen our teaching through sound practice. You are amazing and I hope you have a great week ahead! 💜

Thank you for sharing these tips! 😀. I’m definitely going to implement these strategies into my literacy block. In my district, elementary teachers are required to teach whole group for 30 minutes and small group instruction should last 60 minutes. It hasn’t been easy, but with your tips, I definitely feel they are feasible for my 3rd grade class! 😀

I really needed this today! I'm very discouraged and questioning my entire career after our second district assessment data came in. I teach 2nd grade reading and I have so many students that struggle with reading. And their attention is super short! Things for me to consider.... if the range for 3rd to 5th is 15-20 minutes, how long should my mini lesson for 2nd be?! Also, how can I utilize my time during contract hours to prepare the things I need to save time so I don't have to do it on my own time? I would also LOVE a video on test taking strategies for struggling readers. I have quite a few friends on kinder level and quite a few still BOY first grade!!!

Hi! I have been watching all of your videos.I am a second grade teacher in Florida. My school currently uses the MyView Curriculum. It has a shared reading story, these can often be very long, and not engaging. Do you have an example of how you would teach a standard through the week in 2nd grade? Would you use the same format that you use for fourth grade? I also noticed in your older videos when you taught multi age you only taught a couple of kids at once. Do you do that now as well or do more of whole group? Thank you! Nicole W.

I had a back and forth routine in kindergarten. I ended up keeping my lessons about 5-10 minutes. I did a total of 3 lessons because I had a super long block. The first was phonological, the second was phonics, and the third was comprehension based.
