EDUC 3600 Chapter Notes -Guided Reading, Kindergarten, Red Riding
Document Summary
A guide to effective instruction in reading kindergarten to grade 3 (geir) In guided reading, the teacher supports a small group of students as they talk, read, and think their way through a carefully selected text, using, practising, and consolidating effective reading strategies. Guided reading groups usually consist of four to six students who have been taught the same reading strategies (during earlier readaloud and shared reading lessons) and who are able to read texts of a similar level with support. Guided reading involves students reading a text with a minimal amount of teacher support, a decision about whether to use guided reading in kindergarten should be based on the learning behaviours, strengths, and needs of individual students. When students are able to demonstrate an understanding of print concepts and knowledge of letters and sounds and to recognize some sight words, they are ready to participate in guided reading groups.
