Last year my 2nd graders started the day with independent reading and while it took training and patience in the beginning, it worked very well. I loved it!

However, this summer on PT I kept reading about "Drops
in the Bucket" morning work. I really like the idea of having a skill review each morning also. So I implemented that. The sheets are focused and once the students have done a few they can work on them independently. They don't take long to complete or check. The kids actually like them and I haven't had problems with "slowpokes".

Once they are finished they begin independent
reading. This has worked very well for me this year. As another poster mentioned, my kids know that when they are finished with any assignment, reading is what they do when they "are done".
