Guided Reading

What is guided reading?

• A teacher works with a small group;
• Children in the group are similar in their development of a reading process and are able to read about the same level of text.
• Teachers introduce the stories and assist children's reading in ways that help to develop independent reading strategies.
• Each child reads the whole text.
• The goal is for children to read independently and silently.
• The emphasis is on reading increasingly challenging books over time.
• Children are grouped and regrouped in a dynamic process that involves ongoing observation and assessment. (Fountas and Pinnell,1996)
