Guided reading is just one part of a balanced literacy program.
Grouping and Movement • The DRA assessment will help determine guided reading groups. • Based on level • Based on need • Keep in mind the “goal” for each grade level. • Kindergarten: A-3 • Grade 1: 4-16 • Grade 2: 18-28 • Grade 3: 30-38 • Grade 4: 40 (Low/Mid/High, Fiction/Non-Fiction) • Grade 5: 50 (Low/Mid/High, Fiction/Non-Fiction)
Independent vs. Instructional • Independent Reading Level • Can read with no support. • Accuracy rate: 100%-95% • DRA determines the student’s independent reading level. • Instructional Reading Level • Can read with some support and guidance. • Used for guided reading groups. • One level about the independent reading level. • Accuracy rate: 94%-90%.
Tier I, II and III • Balanced Literacy Block • Tier I – Whole Class Instruction • Tier II – Guided Reading Groups • Tier III – Intervention – Skills Based
Tier I – Whole Class Instruction30-40 Minutes • Read Alouds • Trophies Anthology • Mentor Texts • Content Area Literature • Think Alouds • Vocabulary • Comprehension Skills/Strategies • Word Work • Spelling • Phonics • Phonemic Awareness
Tier I • Shared Writing • Craft • Grammar • Shared Reading • Big Books • Poetry During this time, the teacher models grade level skills and strategies.
Tier II - Guided Reading50-60 Minutes (2 Groups) • Guided Reading • Students read at their instructional level. • They apply skills and strategies taught in whole class lessons. • Groups are flexible. • Students read harder texts when they are ready. • Meets the needs of all learners. • Students read the text at their own pace – this is not round robin reading.
When students are in guided reading groups, they should read text every single time they meet in a group.

Good Habits, Great Readers • A mix of fiction and non-fiction. • Leveled • Includes a 2-3 day lesson plan for each book. • Should be stored in a central location. • Focus skills are identified for each book, however, other skills can be taught with these books as well. • Online Database

Ready or Not? – Moving Students • Students might be ready for a higher reading level when they: • Read the text fluently (accuracy and rate of reading). • Understand the text and can complete assignments and retell the story. • Stop having “teachable” moments. • Are finishing faster or doing much better than the other students. When in doubt, try students in the next level. You can always go back if you need to.
