structures - to help with reading and writing)
Guided ReadingAllows for more differentiation than using the basalSmall groups who are reading books at their
instructional level with approximately 90-94% accuracy

Guided Readingteacher and students interact with the text to help the students learn to use independent
reading strategies successfully and enhance meaning
•Prereading: preview the text, setting purposes
•Reading: first reading, teacher scaffolding
•Responding: making personal connections
•Exploring: strategy instruction, literary analysis, word work
•Applying: re-reading, using strategies and practicing vocabulary independently

Guided Reading
A strong guided reading lesson supports fluency, comprehension and word solving strategies.
Lessons are planned based on anecdotal and fluency data and are responsive to the instructional needs of students.
Key Idea:Guided reading groups are priceless times
for students to practice reading at their instructional level in a safe environment with needed support.
