What is Guided reading
Teaching approach designed to help individual readers
build an effective system for processing a variety of
increasingly challenging texts over time (Fountas & Pinnell,
2011).
Teacher provides instruction to a small group of
students.
Text is easy enough for students to read
Instruction is explicit and direct.
with teacher skillful support
text offers challenges and opportunities
for problem solving.
Teachers choose selections that help
students expand their strategies.
(Scholastic Reading Club, 2017).
Purpose of Guided Reading
After reading articles, webpages, and viewing videos, I believe I gained a lot of in
depth information about guided reading. The only question I have is when should
guided reading begin in the school year? Does the teacher teach and assess, then
establish small groups for guided reading?
Analyzing and Reflecting
Question 3:
In what ways will you be able to increase your understanding of how to
implement guided reading? In other words, what kinds of materials, resources,
workshops/seminars, organizations, conferences or local experiences are
available to you?
I believe I can increase my understanding of how to implement guided reading by
completing more research online and observing guided reading implemented in
classrooms via YouTube. I found that there are guided reading webinars available to help
enhance my understanding of how to implement guided reading in the classroom. One
webinar I found is based on the Fountas & Pinnell professional book Guided Reading,
Second Edition: Responsive Teaching Across the Grades. However, this webinar charges a
fee of $200.00 per person. There are also books available that explain how to use guided
reading and why it is an effective method of teaching. There are many resources available,
but for now I will continue to research guided reading online to enhance my understanding
of this instruction method.
