Teachers will be introduced to the basic framework of guided reading and will learn a variety of strategies to meet all their students' needs in the building block areas of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

The materials found on this page were inspired by various items found in The Next Step in Guided Reading by Jan Richardson. I use the items on this page in my guided reading kit (mentioned on the materials page of this site). Guided Reading 101 in kindergarten and 1st grade! Lesson ideas, planning, organization, grouping students and more for print and teach lessons.

It is a small group lesson, typically involving 3-6 children who are reading at the same reading level. The teacher supports the students' print negotiation and comprehension work with texts at their instructional level. The teacher introduces the new book, provides opportunities to practice reading strategies, and coaches each student. The guided reading lesson should be 10-15 minutes. It is often used to move students from one level of texts to the next.
What texts are used in guided reading?
The teacher carefully selects the texts to meet the students' needs and instructional level. Multiple copies (one for each child in the group) of leveled texts are used.
What are the parts of guided reading?
Book Introduction
-The teacher should cover the following areas: title, author, front cover, a few prior knowledge
questions, picture walk, summary, call attention to a challenging part. It is important that the teacher
leaves something for students to work on.
Reading/Prompting/Coaching
-Children read independently.
-Stagger starts. In other words, wait a few seconds before allowing each child to start reading. This
way children are forced to rely on strategies when they encounter difficulties with the text instead of
waiting for the child sitting next to them to read it for them.
-Be sure to check in with each student.
-Give lean prompts. (See below for a list of prompts for each reading level.)
-Listen in for possible teaching points.
Brief Discussion of Text
-Quick check of comprehension.
Teaching Point
-Demonstrate (often with white board).
-The teaching point should be efficient and explicit. It should also be applicable to future reading
work.
