My teaching partner and I used to pull into the school parking lot before the sun came up, Niepodam.

We stayed for hours after the last bell, too.

We weren't there early because we were super organized. We were there because we built every single lesson from scratch.

I loved it, right up until I started my family and then I reeeeally didn't.

I'm telling you this because so many teachers I talk with are standing in a similar spot right now.

You've tested your kids' reading, and the results are all over the place. Some are ready to fly, and some are still working on basic letter sounds.

And because you love those kids, part of you wants to sit down and build every single one of them their own plan, tailor-made to their specific needs and strengths.

But that will take roughly 25,000 hours of planning. (I didn't actually do the math, but it sure feels right, doesn't it?)

Here's what I wish someone had told me back then…

Meeting every kid’s needs doesn’t have to take that much work.

There's an easier way, and it involves a bag of Skittles…

If you dumped a bag of Skittles on your desk and asked a kid to sort them, she wouldn't give every candy its own pile.

She'd put the reds together, the greens together, and the purples together.

Your readers can be sorted the exact same way. Kids who need the same thing go in the same group.

So instead of building a separate plan for every kid, you're making just three or four for your entire class.

The tricky part is knowing what to sort them by. But that's exactly what I'm going to show you in my free training, Supercharge Your Small Groups

You'll leave knowing exactly how to organize your kids, so every one of them gets what they need, and you get your evenings back.
