Guided Reading
Students gain most from guided reading when they have developed a number of understandings about texts. These are usually best gained through shared reading and oral language activities.
Suggested structure for guided reading
-Activate prior knowledge
-Predicting
-New Vocabulary
-Tricky concepts/ideas
-Lesson focus - Unpack the learning focus for the group-practise if necessary
What next
I will take into consideration when I do my planning and I will introduce these ideas and implement it when I do my guided reading workshop with my learners.
