Children develop reading skills at different rates. Guided reading allows teachers to work with children in small groups and target instruction to their specific needs and strengths. Literacy expert Gail Saunders-Smith provides the latest research on how children learn to read and offers detailed information on how to create an optimal literacy environment.
Ideal for teachers of pre-readers and emergent readers, The Ultimate Guided Reading How-To Book demonstrates how to develop successful readers through step-by-step, small-group reading instruction that focuses on vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency. The second edition provides updated strategies for students and teachers, covers note-taking and study skills, and demonstrates how to introduce a new book to a group, encourage group dialogue, and help students apply new learning to other academic activities. Teachers will discover critical techniques for:
- Getting to know students as readers
- Making the most of group instruction time
- Organizing groups by readiness levels
- Selecting texts appropriate for the abilities of the students in each group
Help students become independent readers with these strategies for use before, during, and after guided reading!
