Guided Reading
Posted by Kelly in MD on 1/18/07
I also only see each child for guided reading once a week. I
do see them in small groups for other reading skills more
than that. I don't introduce a new "skill" each lesson. I
pick a strategy that I think that group needs (there are
strategy cards on my website if you need some) and I
introduce or review it. Sometimes I have more than one focus
strategy depending on the group.
Today was our first meeting:
Level A group: Strategy--point with finger while reading...I
spent the lesson teaching them to touch each word when
reading. Used frogs and lilypads to explain concept. Not my
focus but also used picture clues (kind of obvious to them).
Level B group: Strategy--sound out words, use picture clues
Level C group: Strategy--sound out words, use pictures, use
punctuation...these kids are READY to read and with
expression so that's what we worked on.
All of the kids were so proud of themselves and I really got
to see how far they've come this year.
