Hi there and thanks so much for stopping by! If you are on the hunt for great guided reading ideas to use in your classroom you are in the right spot. However, this post is directed towards those that have purchased my guided reading mega bundle or would like to learn more about it! Don’t worry I have two virtual presentations to help with learning more about guided reading along with the daily five in kindergarten! You can click below to view those presentations!

In the up close snap shot below you can see that on the left side I have all of my sight word tubs, markers and erasers in the back… flash cards in the front…. crayon box, writing strips, and sound box cards on the right.

These are my sight word tubs that house our letters for the week! They are the perfect size!

Below is a graphic on how the packets interact with one another or are a stand alone packet. It’s hard for me to say when and how to use the packets in your classrooms…only you know what your kiddos need at a certain time. That’s why I love that the step by step packets contain editable lesson plans. You can easily swap out one activity for another.The big starter I would suggest would be to view the step by step weekly plans. If you are tied to a district guided reading curriculum that might or might not have enough material. Most of them lack an equal balance for each lesson…I like to make sure my kiddos get practice in letter names/sounds, sight words, phonemic awareness, nonsense words {when applicable}, book, and writing each day!

I have Tara's guided reading bundle and it is BY FAR the best purchase I have ever made on TPT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Trying to decide this purchase or not, in the mega bundle, are the books to go along with the lessons included? And is this good for DRA correlation?
Yes there are 2 books per week and three levels of each book for your above, on, and below level readers 🙂 they are leveled with the DRA leveling system 🙂
Hi there
I am considering purchasing this bundle… But I have children at level 2, 4, and 7. Do I just use different plans for those groups?
Thanks
Is this beginning of Kindergarten? Possibly the 1st grade version would work better?
Tara 🙂
I am so excited to start using this. I have just now purchased it and will be starting it in January. Where should I start? Thank you so much
Hey there! I would start about halfway through and see how the kiddos do! Feel free as well to always email me with questions 😀

I love the lesson plans, but am having a hard time locating the resources I need for each lesson. For example the very first lesson calls for rhyming picture cards, and says they can be found in additional resources…. I have not been able to locate those. Can you help?
They are in the back of the packet 🙂
Hi Tara,
I just purchased this and am thinking ahead for my next year. Do you start your 1-32weeks mega right in September? When do you start your reading groups?
Hi there! You’ll probably want to start with the Intro to Guided Reading packet 🙂 It can be found in the back to school folder! 😀
I just purchased the Mega Bundle and I am so excited to use it! I have one question though…… on the step by step lesson plan in week 2 it says use the poem “I like” under the Book work but I can not find any of the poems in the packet. Where do I find the poems at?
Thank you!
Heather
Hi there! The I like poem is on page 60 🙂
