  6. Alice – HPS – HOUSTON SOUTH/WEST (verified owner) –

    The presenter had lots of suggestions. She takes her stations very seriously and she is providing the students what they need to meet the standards. I also like that she incudes the students feedback in how they have their stations.

    Awesome

  13. CRISELDA – HIDALGO ISD (verified owner) –

    I like the examples that were provided for the centers. It did make it seem doable. I would have liked to do a trial run through one complete round of READ.

  14. ALEJANDRA – HIDALGO ISD (verified owner) –

    Very informative and useful.

  15. Wendy – KILLEEN ISD (verified owner) –

    This course was top-notch and everything I hope to expect from future courses. The teacher was very quick and to the point. The photographs of her classroom help with visualizing how the centers work. The examples of the handouts give a good starting point so that I can create my own or edit to begin my own centers.

  17. Arfa – HPS – HOUSTON NORTH (verified owner) –

    wonderful course

  18. TANYA – HIDALGO ISD (verified owner) –

    I like the presenter, she made the materials easy to understand. I liked that notes where provided.

  19. Ayat – HPS – HOUSTON SOUTH/WEST (verified owner) –

    I have not used the READ rotation exactly as described, but I have used similar small-group reading rotations in my classroom. I have seen that students stay more engaged, get targeted support based on their needs, and develop stronger reading skills through consistent, focused practice. To implement READ or a similar model, I would need to plan clear groupings, schedule rotations efficiently, and prepare materials for each station ahead of time. Organizational structures such as timers, clear expectations for independent work, and tracking student progress would be essential to ensure the rotation runs smoothly and effectively.

    Offers a great way to incorporate effective centers in the classroom.

  28. Samantha – REYNOLDSBURG CITY (verified owner) –

    I was actually impressed with the activities introduced in this module. I genuinely intend to try this out with my students before the end of this semester.

  29. Martha – ASHTABULA AREA CITY (verified owner) –

    Great information and explanation of how the READ stations are implemented by this teacher. I also appreciate that this is coming from a classroom teacher who is still in a classroom. I did not give it a 5 star, because this would be very difficult to do with resources that are provided by the school. Asking teachers to come up with so many supplemental resources and materials and then the time involved makes this a lot of extra time and money.

  30. Kelsy – BEXLEY CITY (verified owner) –

    While I see the benefits, I do think this should be geared toward later elementary and beyond. I think First Graders have a difficult time doing independent work so it would be really hard for me!

  31. monique – HPS – HOUSTON SOUTH/WEST (verified owner) –

    This course offered helpful ideas that could be used in the classroom at any grade level.
