  3. Goal of Guided Reading? The ultimate goal in guided reading is to help children learn how to use independent reading strategies successfully. Fountas & Pinnell Guided Reading

  4. What is Guided Reading? • Guided reading is an instructional approach that involves a teacher working with a small group of students who demonstrate similar reading behaviors and can all read with the teacher’s skillful support. • The text is easy enough for students to read with support. • The text offers challenges and opportunities for problem solving, but is easy enough for students to read with some fluency. • Teachers choose text that help students expand their strategies.

  5. What is Guided Reading? • Children in the group are similar in the development of a reading process and are able to read about the same level of text. • Each child reads the whole text/passage. • Teachers introduce the stories and assist children’s reading in ways that help to develop independent reading strategies. • Children are grouped and regrouped using ongoing observation and assessment.

  6. What does it look like? • The teacher works will a small group of students (4-6) that have similar ability and needs. • The teacher provides introductions to the text that support children’s later attempts at problem solving. • Each student reads the whole text or a unified part of the text. • Readers figure out new words while reading for meaning. • The teacher and student engage in meaningful conversations about what they are reading. • The teacher and student revisit the text to demonstrate and use a range of comprehension strategies.
