Differentiated Instruction During Guided Reading

Letter/Sound Instruction

It is important to give beginning readers saturated exposure to the

letters in the English language. They need to learn all the different sounds each letter makes, as well as the sounds of blends, digraphs,

and vowel patterns.

Page 3: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

Alphabet Pages: Used to practice each letter sound and an associated anchor word.

Page 4: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

Word Family Lists and Houses: Used to practice different groups of rhyming words and their word families.

Page 5: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

White Boards: Used to practice letters, sounds, families, and features.

Page 6: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

Making Words: Used to practice creating a variety of words using a given set of letters.

Page 7: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

Magnetic Letters and Blends: Used to practice making words using various groups of letters and blends.

Phonics Big Books: Used to give additional practice with word families.

Word Study

It is important to expose beginning readers to a great deal of practice with high frequency words. It is also important to

frontload the vocabulary needed to be successful at their individual

reading level.

Page 10: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

Dolch Word Lists: Used to practice high frequency words. They can be printed on cardstock and cut apart to be used as flashcards.

Page 11: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

White Boards: Used to practice high frequency words and finding smaller words within larger ones.

Page 12: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

Shared Sentences: Used to reinforce vocabulary. Each student starts with a paper and pencil. They write one word and pass their paper to the left. The next person adds a word. This continues until they each build a complete sentence. They then share their sentences.

Page 13: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

Sentence Strips: Used to practice writing sentences containing new or unfamiliar words. Students begin by writing a sentence on a paper or white board. Discuss correct spelling and punctuation. After correcting, students rewrite their sentence on a strip. After they have practiced reading it, cut apart their sentence and have them reconstruct it.

Page 14: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

Sight Word BINGO: Used to reinforce the high frequency words being taught.

Page 15: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

Vocabulary Scrabble: Used to reinforce vocabulary. Give students a sheet of one-inch graph paper and a pencil. Using one letter per square, students take turns spelling familiar words in any direction. This can be a partner or group activity.

Page 16: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

Flashcard Sentences: Used to reinforce vocabulary. Give each student a paper, pencil, and a flashcard. They should create sentences containing a minimum of four words. Students then share their sentences with the group.

Leveled Readers

It is important to provide beginning readers with texts that are at their appropriate reading level. Using leveled readers in small groups offers an environment in which

students can feel successful. They are not being asked to “Round Robin” read in a whole group

setting.

A few examples…

Page 19: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

Introducing the Text

Use the following techniques to introduce the text:

Do a “Picture Walk” to discuss the illustrations Have students make predictions based on the pictures Give a sense of the story or the basic plot Call attention to the text features Preview challenging or tricky words

Page 20: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

The First Reading

Students read the text independently and softly to themselves.

Teacher observes the group and coaches individual students as needed.

Teacher uses prompts when students get stuck or if something doesn’t make sense.

Teacher and students return to the text as a group to discuss, question, and clarify understanding.

Page 21: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

The Second Reading

Teacher focuses on checking for comprehension.

Teacher writes 3-5 questions on a white board or chart. Give each student a white board and supplies or a paper and pencil. Students use their texts to reread and answer the questions. Depending on the level and abilities of the group, students can write, draw, or oral share their responses.

Teacher records observations on a record sheet to help determine what students need next.

Page 22: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

Guide Notes: These are found in the back of many guided reading texts. They can be used to focus the learning.

Page 23: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

Further Readings

Students reread the text with a partner.

Texts are placed in a book basket for familiar reading.

Other Things to Consider…

Comprehension Strategies: Teach students to –Monitor comprehensionMake connectionsAsk deeper questions InferVisualizeDetermine importanceSummarize

Page 25: Differentiated Instruction - Guided Reading

“Fix It” Strategies: Teach students to –

Figure out unfamiliar words by:1. Looking at the pictures

2. Skipping the word and going back to it

3. Looking at the first and last letter

4. Sounding it out

5. Looking for “chunks” in the word

Ask:1. Does this make sense?

2. Does it sound right?

Backtrack:

If the story stops making sense, go back to an earlier part of the story and reread.

Use visuals including realia, photographs, and drawings

Use songs and poems

Give additional time to reinforce concept
