Guided ReadingAs student sight word recognition and phonemic awareness skills grow,
students will be assessed on their independent reading level using a benchmark reading kit.
Guided Reading groups look like:Before Reading:• Pre-teaching words that do not follow phonics rules• Reviewing Good Reader Strategies• Activating our prior knowledge about the subject of the text (ex. thinking
of a trip to the beach when reading a beach text)• Making a prediction about what they think will happen in the text.
(Giving students a purpose to read.)During Reading:• Scaffolding support to help students read the text• Reminding students which Good Reader Strategy to try• Re-reading again with less teacher support
After Reading:• What was the book about? Were our predictions right?• What parts were tricky for you? What strategy did you use?• What type of book is this? (Fiction or Non-fiction) Why do you think the
author wrote this book?
