Who Will Help? (Seriously, I Need Help!)

I'm trying something brand new this week with my Power Hour reading intervention group and could use some help! 

I'm including a freebie in this post and would very much appreciate anyone who can try it out and provide feedback. 

If you can help me, I (and my students) would be so thankful 

(and there might be an extra treat available).

Here's a little background... 

(or you can skip forward to my plea for help!)

I work with a little group of rockstars who are reading below the first grade level right now. There are students with I.E.P. goals/objectives in the area of early literacy, students with 504 plans, and students who are on the radar because they haven't grown in reading yet. 

We just finished up our F&P, so next week I will be losing some of my students who made progress (I'll miss them, but yay!) and gaining a few who didn't show any growth last semester. The majority of my students are reading on Level B/C. This group is hard-working, but there can be a few interfering behaviors. Usually at this point in the year, these behaviors are due to avoidance or frustration. I usually can nip these in the bud with engaging activities at the appropriate level and extreme structure.

Our Power Hour meets Monday-Thursday for 45 minutes. We start with Shared Reading and  then 2 rotations of Guided Reading and phonics and/or writing centers. Every student receives two take-home books per week: 1 from Reading A-Z and 1 from all the wonderful resources on TPT.

As a special educator, I'm always watching the ratio of teacher-led versus student-led activities. I want my students to interact appropriately with each other while I'm still able to provide support. Working with a group of struggling readers is often tricky because they often need so much support. 

I recently purchased these Readers Theater sets (I got all of them!) from the Teeny Tiny Teacher. I LOVE THEM!!! I really believe this will help with the ratio I'm seeking, plus provide positive reading experience for this group!  Unfortunately, they are at the cusp of being just a teeny bit above my students' current level. I'd almost rather have the scripts a tad easier (independent versus instructional) level until they are ready. Hopefully we will be able to use her sets before Spring Break! Wearethisclose!

In the meantime, I made this little Readers Theater that features kindergarten sight words and my students' all-time favorite theme. I will be trying it this week and then reflecting on how it went. I would really appreciate it if anyone out there could do the same! I would put the level around Guided Reading Level B, so kindergarten may find it just right. 

Included in this freebie:

Cover with headers of the two parts ("rock" and "star")

Two pages of scripts - the underlined words are featured on picture/text vocab cards
