“If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow.” —John Dewey
RESPONSIVE INTENTIONAL TEACHING RUNNING RECORDS Bev Meyeroff
GROUPING From the running record teachers identify students with similar instructional needs and place them in small, flexible groups. Bev Meyeroff
Gradual Release of Responsibility TEACHER RESPONSIBILITY “I do it” Focus Lesson “We do it” Guided Instruction “You do it alone” Independent: IDR STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY (c) Fisher & Frey, 2006

CONFERRING… • Guided reading is not round robin reading! • The focus is on skills and strategies for independent reading of unfamiliar text. • Students read the whole text independently and softly to themselves. Bev Meyeroff
BOOK SELECTION Teachers select a specific book for a guided reading group that clearly addresses the reading strategy students need to practice AND is at the students’ instructional level (students knows 90% of the words). Bev Meyeroff
Word Solving and Comprehension Strategies You Can Support at Home Bev Meyeroff
Word Solving Strategies • Children need to have a series of strategies they can use when they do not know a word. • Not just “SOUND IT OUT” • Instead: “What could you try?” “Try it” “Try it again” Bev Meyeroff
WHAT DOES RESEARCH SAY ABOUT IMPROVING COMPREHENSION? • Students need to learn what they should think about while they are reading. • Students need to learn how to explain or describe their thinking. Bev Meyeroff
READING IS THINKING! • Thinking is the essence of reading! • Reading is more than just saying words! Hmmm…
