DonutorInside Outside Line WHAT IS GUIDED READING? WHAT IS ITS PURPOSE?
GUIDED READING Description The teacher and a small group of students talk, read and think their way purposefully through a common text, working collaboratively.
GUIDED READING Classroom Indicators- Instruction • Teachers: • group and regroup students using ongoing observation and assessment • carefully plan strategic reading instruction and explicitly teach small groups of students • select texts appropriate for the common instructional needs of the group • promote active engagement in thoughtful group discussion • Time scheduled daily - each group approx. 20 minutes
GUIDED READING Classroom Indicators- Instruction (Continued) • Teacher prompts assist students to: • engage in text orientation and activate prior knowledge, connections and thinking • deepen comprehension • develop prediction skills and understanding of the reading and writing processes • use other students to help solve problems • question ideas of the author • ask questions a reader asks when reading
GUIDED READING Classroom Indicators- Resources • Adequate variety of texts in multiple copies - a set of 6 copies and an additional copy for the teacher • Small group organisation & tasks are clearly defined and visible e.g. management board
How do we identify an instructional focus? • Teaching for Strategies sheet • Guided Reading Observations • Ondemand: Adaptive Linear Progress report • Reading Response Journal • Other formative assessments • Independent Reading Conferences
Questioning • Literal Questions • Right there. The answer is clearly in the text. • Inferential • Think and Search • Prior Knowledge + Text Clues • Evaluative • On Your Own. • Your own knowledge plus what the author has said.
Evaluative Why do we export? Countries need to export to earn money from overseas. “Australia, the lucky country”. Literal What is Australia’s main export? Our main export is coal Inferential Is coal our only export? Australia has other exports. Coal has not always been our main export. “ AUSTRALIA’S PRINCIPLE EXPORT IS NOW COAL.”
How Do We Select Appropriate Text? • Based on instructional focus and knowledge of students in group • Text needs to be appropriate to students’ learning needs, backgrounds, interests, experiences • Text may have links to current topic study • Usually a new text for students, but may be re-visited for a specific purpose • Text at an appropriate level: no more than 5-10 difficulties in every 100 words
Modelled Session- SNOOK GUIDED READING
What are the other students doing? • Working independently • Working in groups on reading tasks • Well planned activities that reinforce prior teaching focus, literacy strategies and awareness
