“Hello teachers, and welcome.

Today we are talking about small group instruction and how to set up your classroom so small groups run smoothly and successfully.

First, what are small groups?

Small groups are when a teacher works with a few students at one time—usually 3 to 6 children—based on their learning needs. This allows teachers to give more support, practice skills, and build confidence.

Why are small groups important?

Small groups help children receive instruction at their level. Some students may need extra help, while others may need more challenging work. Small groups give every child a better chance to learn and participate.

Now let’s talk about setting up your room.

A functional small group area should be:

• Quiet so students can focus
• Organized so materials are easy to find
• Comfortable with enough space for all students
• Accessible with pencils, manipulatives, books, and supplies nearby

You may use:

• A kidney table or small table
• Baskets for supplies
• Whiteboards or dry-erase boards
• Anchor charts for quick reference
• Learning tools such as letter cards, counters, or books

Next, think about routines.

Children should know:

• Where to sit
• What materials to bring
• How to listen and participate
• What to do when the group is finished

Clear routines save time and reduce confusion.

Now, how does my flyer help?

My flyer helps teachers understand small groups by breaking the process into simple, easy-to-follow steps.

The flyer shows:

• What small groups are
• Why they matter
• How to organize your space
• Materials you need
• Tips for keeping groups productive

This gives teachers a quick visual guide they can use right away in their classroom.

Remember, small groups are not just about seating children at a table. They are about intentional teaching, targeted support, and meaningful learning.

Thank you for joining me, and I hope this helps you create successful small group instruction in your classroom.”
