Limited Capacity seats available

Ready to raise rigor in your classroom—without adding more stress to your day? In this session, you’ll learn a practical small group rotation system that helps you target phonics, fluency, comprehension, and writing using the curriculum you already have. We’ll explore how to use student data and tools like Lexia and IXL to group students, close skill gaps, and keep everyone engaged. You’ll leave with ready-to-use ideas you can implement immediately—no small group expertise required. Bring a lesson, unit, or student data if you’d like to start planning during the session!

This session is intended for educators in grades 3-5.
