  Case: Read Along
Everyday, after lunch, we do a two class read aloud. This allows one teacher some RTI time. Some students feel this is time to goof off and disrupt the class. How do I control these students without taking away from this fun activity?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Lunch time is always difficult to transition back to work, since the kids are all worked up. Maybe the students need an activity to get refocused when the come in. Do you simply read the story, or do the kids have their own books to follow along with? If they don't have individual books, maybe try to find materials they can all have and hold so they have something in their hands to hold and look at. I have found, especially with large groups, one teacher reading one book aloud tends to lose the student's interest.

Comments: I would also do this in the same situation. Individual reading time after lunch is a great idea because it helps the students unwind.

Comments: This is definitely a good solution to experiment with. And maybe instead of holding something, the lights are dimmed and there are pictures on the projector to promote quietness and calmness.

Comments: This is a great solution. Lunch time is a hard time to transition back to focused learning and having the students sit quietly and follow along with the reading gives them time to calm down and get refocused on learning.

Comments: I think this is a great solution. I agree that lunch time is hard to transition from and get right back to work so maybe a activity to get them refocused and calmed down is a good idea. Letting them get all their energy out and re-engaging them into the classroom is important. Maybe giving them something to do as a group or having a small discussion about lunch before jumping right back into teaching would be good. Also, I think that they often tend to loose focus when the teacher is just reading the book to them aloud. Having them involve somehow will keep them interested.

Comments: I like the idea of making sure that students have their own books to read as the teacher can model and show turning the page, how to read, and what page the students should be on. Students will actively participate in reading and listening and turning the pages. Great solution!

Comments: I agree, a refocusing activity is necessary before having the students sit quietly. Giving the students their own book to hold onto and follow along with will prevent distractions. Also allowing the students to take turns reading will get them all to pay attention.
