Become A Guided Reading Guru


Guided reading is small-group reading instruction designed to provide differentiated teaching that supports students in developing reading proficiency. ~ Gay Su Pinnell & Irene C. Fountas
I've included links to resources that are beneficial while conducting Guided Reading lessons. Guided reading typically takes place during a Balanced Literacy Block, and can be easily incorporated with Daily 5 literacy rotations.

"Read a book to a child and limit their capabilities; teach a child how to read a book and limitations become nonexistent"- A. Darian
Whether guided reading is done with one student or a small group, its purpose is as follows: “No matter what the level is, teachers teach for a full range of strategic actions: word solving, searching for and using information, self-monitoring, and comprehension” ~Gay Su Pinnell & Irene C. Flountas
Guided reading oftentimes is subject to many interpretations, but Burkins & Croft (2010) identify these common elements:
  • Working with small groups
  • Matching student reading ability to text levels
  • Giving everyone in the group the same text
  • Introducing the text
  • Listening to individuals read
  • Prompting students to integrate their reading processes
  • Engaging students in conversations about the text
