EPISODE 43 I am so excited to share with you that I’ve decided to have a mini-series in September to kick off the fall! The focus is going to be mini-lessons, which is something you may have heard me talk about during my summer series. I know you’re so busy with the beginning of the school year, so I hope these short and sweet episodes are perfect for you! In my experience, many teachers use the term “mini-lessons” for varying activities within their reading block. This is actually not the case as mini-lessons are structured and follow a specific framework. During this episode I will not only explain what that should look like, but also why it’s so important. I can’t wait to hear how you incorporate mini-lessons into your classroom! In this episode I share: -What a mini-lesson really is vs what it isn’t -The benefits of using mini-lessons -5 parts of an effective mini-lesson -How to choose which texts to use Resources Mentioned: -Grab your FREE mini-lesson planning pack: stellarteacher.com/minilessons -SHOW NOTES: stellarteacher.com/podcast/episode43.  Connect with me: -Join my newsletter -My TPT store -Instagram: @thestellarteachercompany -Facebook: The Stellar Teacher Company
