I start literature circles in the Fall after I assess the students to get their reading levels. I enlist the help of 4-8 parent volunteers so they can run the groups. This year, I only had 4 parents sign up to help, so I did circles once a week. I make sure everything is organized before we start. I get leveled book sets for the groups and then give them a big bag with all the materials the group needs.
Here is the bag with all the materials in it for the literature groups.
Some of the items that are in the bag.
