- Purpose of guided Reading
- Slide 6
- Guided Reading Guided reading plays a particular and very
important role in reading workshop. Extensive reading, even in
connection with individual conferences, will not produce continuous
reading progress. Most students require small-group reading
instruction. -Fountas & Pinnell Teaching for Comprehending and
Fluency p. 373
- Slide 7
- The purpose of guided reading is to meet the varying
instructional needs of ALL the students in your class, enabling
them to greatly expand their reading powers. Explicit instruction
is essential and will make reading more powerful for all students.
Fountas and Pinnell Why Guided Reading?
- Slide 8
- Why Do We Use Guided Reading? To improve fluency. To make
instruction more personalized. Guided reading enables children to
develop and use strategies of an independent reader. It allows
children to gain confidence in their ability to read on their own.
It allows for close observation of each student while reading.
- Slide 9
- Principles of Guided Reading Students are: Reading individually
and silently (or in whispers) Using sticky notes to mark their
thinking or strategy use. Clock reading mileage Teacher is:
Sampling their oral reading by listening in. Reinforce strategic
behaviors. Shift from unproductive behaviors BRIEF conference.
Making notes of strengths and areas for improvement

- Using assessment data for your small group instruction Data
from running records, conferencing, and Fountas and Pinnell
Independent levels Instructional levels Strategic actions MSV
Fluency Comprehension Informing your small groups Decisions about
grouping Selecting texts for group lessons Preparing book
orientation Teaching points for lesson Matching teaching points in
guided reading Selecting ways to reread the text Book orientation
Discussion questions for deeper meaning Teaching points for the
guided reading Extending the meaning through writing.
- Slide 11
- Preparing for guided reading lessons
- Slide 12
- What instructional resources do you need? A designated place
where the teacher can monitor the group. Multiple copies of the
book. A clipboard or notepad to record observations. Various
teaching tools (sentence strips, white boards, paper, etc.)
- Slide 13
- What should students know before beginning guided reading? Some
early reading behaviors such as; directionality, sound- symbol
relationships and some high frequency words. Demonstrate
appropriate book handling abilities. These can be taught and
practiced during shared reading.
- Slide 14
- How do you organize your students for a guided reading lesson?
Students and teacher are seated at table together so teachers can
easily hear all students read. Establish groups of 4-6 students who
are reading at similar levels. Adjust groups OFTEN !

- INDEPENDENT LEVEL: (A-K) 95-100% (L-Z) 98 100% High success
reading Book boxes INSTRUCTIONAL LEVEL: (A-K) 90-94% (L-Z) 95 97%
Guided Small Group Instruction Intervention groups FRUSTRATION
LEVEL: (A-K) less than 90% (L-Z) less than 95% To be avoided for

Reading
- Slide 18
- Major Differences in guided reading from primary to
intermediate 1. Length of the text : Reading material at
intermediate grades is often longer and can not be completed in one
guided reading lesson. 2. Lesson focus : Lessons at the
intermediate grades focus on comprehension of text instead of
decoding skills. 3. Method of reading : Students read material
SILENTLY at the intermediate grades.

- Book orientations
- Slide 20
- Students should get warmed up to read . Reread familiar text
builds fluency Teacher takes a running record on one student daily
and gives strategy instruction on-the-spot (teaching point). Guided
Reading Structure
- Slide 21
- The goal is to prepare students to read the text by creating a
supportive context for building meaning and applying processing
strategies. Orientation to the Book
- Slide 22
- Debugging the book What is going to get in the way? Might look
different for different groups of kids. Scaffolding of book
orientations - handout Book Orientations
- Slide 23
- The teacher provides an overview of the text and teacher and
students co-construct meaning by discussing the pictures. The
teacher also sets a purpose for reading the text. During the
discussion, the teacher: Uses specific language structures
Discusses relevant or new vocabulary Guides the children to locate
known and/or unknown words Points out important features within
text Orientation to the Book
- Slide 24
- What new or relevant vocabulary will the students need to know?
What text features or structures of language will be difficult? Set
the purpose for reading and comprehension. Practice writing your
own.

- Reading the text and conferencing
- Slide 26
- Group A Why Move Away From Round Robin Reading? (Rasinski)
Group B Reading the Text (Fountas and Pinnell) Article Jigsaw
- Slide 27
- What do the students in this particular group need extra time,
support, or practice with? What are students in this group ready
for? Focus: within the text Focus: beyond the text Planning a
focus
- Slide 28
- What does teacher do during reading? Observes students fluency
and reading strategies used during reading Teaching points to
emphasize Listens for strong points to praise Listens and coaches
students to use reading strategies, prompting for strategic
behaviors
- Slide 29
- Retelling (if a longer book is being used) Listen to oral
reading Discussing what was read. Probing for strategic behaviors
Noting strengths Setting goals. Reading Conferences
- Slide 30
- Students read the entire text and practice problem-solving
strategies while focusing on meaning. Teacher conducts a reading
conference with each student and provides tailored support to meet
individual needs. Reading Conferences
- Slide 31
- Book discussion and teaching point
- Slide 32
- The goal is to enhance students comprehension through
thoughtful discussions and to lift strategy usage through explicit
teaching. Teacher and students discuss the book at the meaning
level. Teacher validates processing strategies used during reading.
Teacher explicitly teaches for strategy development if processing
strategies were neglected. Book Discussion and Teaching Point
- Slide 33
- Think critically about the text whats the BIG QUESTION? Search
for evidence to support their opinions or disprove their thinking.
Evaluate character development. Compare (or contrast) the text to
texts they have read. Discussion of the book
- Slide 34
- Write a CR question for your books. Whats your focus? What
questions could you generate to relate to the focus of the lesson?
Writing your own.
