Memory of Language Arts

I have many memories of language arts, but one of my first memories was from second grade. My particular memory was reading groups. The class was split up into groups of five to seven students and each group would take time to sit at the reading table with the teacher. I remember being a strong reader at that age, so I was placed in one of the higher preforming groups. Every day, we would spend some time at this reading table where the other students and I would take turns reading. After reading we would be asked a few questions and either write down or discuss the answers on the reading passage. I like the idea of reading groups because more time is focused on each student and I would like to incorporate that into my classroom one day. I always remember my teacher being very encouraging and guiding us if there was any struggle. So overall, I had a great language arts experience from a young age.
