Set Up for Lower Years Small Group DI Program Instruction

In small group instruction, the seating is often a semicircle of closely spaced chairs near enough to the teacher to allow easy interaction. Students are close enough to view the Presentation Book, and teachers can interact with students through physical prompts and congratulatory gestures. 

Low performers are seated toward the centre to allow the teacher to closely monitor their responses and hold their attention. Higher performers are seated at the ends of the semicircle or if the group is large a second row can be added.
