About this small group planner

Small-group teaching lets you meet students where they are. This planner lists each group with its students, focus skill and text, a rotation across the week, and notes from each session, so groups stay flexible and progress is recorded.

It suits guided reading, maths groups and language support.

What’s on the page

  • Groups: a table with columns for Group, Students, Focus skill, Text or materials, with rows for Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Group 4, Group 5.
  • Session notes: a table with columns for Group, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, with rows for Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, Group 4, Group 5.

Tips

  • Regroup every few weeks based on assessment.
  • Keep sessions to 15–20 minutes.
  • Plan independent work for the other groups.

Made to fit, then printed

Everything on this small group planner can be changed before you print: the title, the dates, the colour, the paper size and orientation. The page is drawn on your device and nothing is uploaded. Find more printables.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a reading group planner?

Yes. It works for guided reading and any subject where you teach in small groups.

What paper size should I print on?

Choose A4 or US Letter before downloading, and print at 100% or “Actual size”. Portrait and landscape layouts are both available.

Can I print several weeks at once?

Yes. Pick the start date and how many weeks you need; each week gets its own page with the right dates, all in one PDF.

Will it print well in black and white?

Yes. The layout uses light fills and clear lines that print cleanly in grey. Choose the “Grey” colour to save colour ink entirely.

Can I fill in the small group planner on my phone or tablet?

Yes. Switch on “Fillable PDF” before downloading and the PDF gets typing boxes and tick boxes you can use in most PDF apps. Or print it and use a pen.
