Guided ReadingNKC Schools | 2017-2018

Module Goals•I can gather and organize materials I

may need for guided reading groups in order to be efficient with groups.

•I can speak to reading behaviors for each developmental stage of reading.

•I can explore each component/procedure of a guided reading lesson plan and explain its purpose.

Guided Reading Basics•Teachers match students with challenging books at their instructional level.

•Students become better readers by reading, self-monitoring and problem solving their way through a text.

•Teachers are intentional in their instruction and responsive to the specific needs of their students.

•Teachers know when to step in and scaffold and when to reduce support, enabling students to move forward as independent readers.

Guided Reading Beginnings

Stages of Reading

Emergent Stage

Emergent Plan

Emergent Plan

If you have to introduce more than 5 words, the book is too difficult.

Tip

TipSpend ONLY 2 minutes with the text preview.

TipLearn to say this: “It could be ____ or _____. You will have to read to find out.”

Emergent Plan

Do not have students take turns reading. (think round-robin or popcorn) This will limit the amount of text they can read and impede independent processing.

Tip

If you see 2 students reading the same page, have one reader go to the previous page and read it to you.

Tip

Emergent Plan

The sight word is taught after students read the book so they can have an opportunity to read the word several times before you teach them to write it.

Tip

Don’t teach a new sight word until the old one is firm.

Tip

Once you introduce the word, do the activities in order because they use a gradual release of responsibility.
