I love the idea of shared reading groups. It not only allows for group interaction, but also allows for the not so fluent child to participate in reading allowed without the pressure or stress of being the focus of attention. It is a great way to introduce key vocabulary words. This is a perfect way for the second language learner student to be exposed to and have the opportunity to practice language both with text and with their peers as they emulate the story in their own lives. I've been witness to many children, mine included, that role play the stories that they read out on the playground and in their environment.
A to Z teacher stuff is a site I came across and thought it was really helpful for embellishing lesson plans or getting ideas and fillers for lesson plans. There are a lot of great books within the site. It is a teacher-created site that serves as an online re-source. In addition fo finding thematic units, lesson plans and tips it also serves as a discussion forum.
