Guided Reading: A Research-Based Response to the Challenges of Early Reading Instruction


This June 2006 article by Anita Iaquinta from the Early Childhood Education Journal presented a clear expose of what guided reading is, what the teacher's role is, and what the children should gain from it.  I highly recommend it!


 "The goal of guided reading is to develop a self- extending system of reading that enables the reader to discover more about the process of reading while reading. "

Table I & II provide an entire page of teacher prompts. 
Table III explicitly provides the teacher's role before, during, and after the guided reading activity. 

This resource is ideal for preparing for a guided reading lesson.

The point of guided reading to get all students involved, at levels that work best for them (Zone of Proximal Development), in groups, to build their reading skills.

Question: what are the pros and cons of traditional versus dynamic grouping?
