What is Guided Reading?

 Guided reading is a small-group instructional context (a
group of 4-6 learners) in which a teacher supports
each reader's development of systems of strategic
actions for processing new texts at increasingly
challenging levels of difficulty.
 It is an instructional approach to reading where a
teacher supports a small group of learners to help
them read through a text.

DECODING: Decoding means literally turning a

written word into a spoken word, regardless of
whether the meaning of that word has been
understood.

COMPREHENSION: This means understanding

what has been read and being able to talk or
write about it.
 GUIDED READING

Background / Research Based

Guided reading instruction is designed to
provide differentiated teaching that supports
students in developing reading proficiency.
The teacher uses a tightly structured framework
that allows for the incorporation of several
research-based approaches into a coordinated
whole.

Structure of Guided Reading

Selection of a Text. The teacher selects a text that will be just right to
support new learning in the group – at the instructional level.
Introduction to the Text. The teacher introduces the text to scaffold the
reading but leaves some problem-solving for readers to do.
Reading the Text. Students read the entire text softly or silently and
orally.
Discussion of the Text. The teacher invites students to discuss the
text, guiding the discussion and lifting the students’ comprehension.

Structure of Guided Reading

Teaching Points. The teacher makes explicit teaching points, grounded
in the text, and directed toward expanding the students’ systems of
strategic actions.
Word Work. The teacher provides explicit teaching to help students
become flexible and efficient in solving word problems.
Extending Understanding (Optional). If further work with the meaning is
needed, students extend their understanding of the text through
writing and/or drawing (may be independent).

Strategy in Teaching Guided Reading

1. Familiar rereading—Observe and make notes while
students read books from earlier guided reading
lessons.
2. Introduction—Ask students to examine the book to
see what they notice.
3. Reading practice—Rotate from student to student
while they read quietly or silently.
 GUIDED READING

4. Discussion—Let students talk about what they
noticed while reading. Support their efforts to
think deeply and connect across the whole
book.
5. Teaching point—Offer a couple of instructions
based on observations made during reading.

How Teachers Can Make The Strategy Work

Organize students into groups based on similar

reading ability and/or similar learning needs
determined results of needs assessment tools such as
running records, reading conference notes and
anecdotal records. Thus, the needs of struggling
readers are addressed in small group settings.
