Grouping and Seating

RMSE 2–3 can be presented to a class. When possible, keep group numbers to about fifteen. With a larger class instruction, individual students receive fewer opportunities to read aloud.       

Students sit in desks or at tables. Make sure there is enough space to walk around and actively monitor the group.

Seat students who need the most help close to the front of the room. Arrange middle performers around the lower performers. Seat highest performing students on the periphery.
