morning. As he read, he used group altering by periodically asking the students questions
pertaining to the characters or the words in the story. Such as “which word rhyme in this
sentence?” and “Whatis the feeling word?”. This made the engaged time with the students last
longer since they knew they would be asked to answer. After reading the lesson, he would then
tell the kids to disperse into their groups and tell them what corners to explained that the kids
were grouped based on their scores from a test given at the beginning of the year. This way, he
knew he would have to work longer with a certain group or not as longer with another based on
how much they previously knew. The kids then either went to the computer corner, the
teacher’s aide, or to work with Mr. Tahir At each corner the children worked on word
