Know the Benchmark Skills of the NGSSS
The NGSSS “Big Ideas” and benchmarks for each grade level are concise.
Know them like the back of your hand!
As topics and skills are encountered within reading instruction, teachers MUST know when

Explicit instruction Guided practiceIndividual Practice Application higher levels of complexity and concept development
Plan for…multiple opportunities to learn.collaborative and individual tasks.student generated learning opportunities.student engagement in each instructional stage.multiple resources and types of text.
Consider…what content can be integrated during the reading block via:
Whole group (Get Ready Story, Main Selection, Paired Selection, Lit Book, Lap Book, Art Projects, Scrapbook Art) Small group (Leveled Readers, Content Flip Chart, Student Storybooks)
Plan…what Science knowledge needs to be instructed outside the reading block, using the additional Treasures resources and other materials, targeting Science specific skills,
And…what application/extensions from both Reading & Science can be included during literacy centers within the reading block.
