We must move step by step to match the pace of students' learning with their readiness. Introducing one or two new routines in reading is enough for this week. Next week we can add another, and one more the week after, gradually adding complexity and challenge as students are ready. As we go forward this week, we acknowledge and build on the students' small successes.
