Philosophy

“Guided reading is a teaching approach designed to help individual students learn how to progress a variety of increasingly challenging texts with understanding and fluency.” -Fountas and Pinnell

llllllllllllllllllll

Philosophy

• True reading is a combination of accuracy and comprehension

• Not every student comes to grades 3-5 knowing how to read

• Impedes fluency, rate, and overall comprehension

• Allows you to meet specific needs, not just broad generalizations

llllllllllllllllllll

Flexibility is Key

• Allow yourself the freedom to take a little bit of writing workshop time. (Double check with your principal first, but most are agreeing to give you the flexibility to make it work!)

• Consider flexible grouping within your team • Start out small, with one or two

consistent groups and build from there • Understand that there is NO exact way-

do what works best for you and your kids!

• EVERY minute counts!

What is Progress

Monitoring? • Used for planning instruction and setting student

goals/targets • Should be kept on every student • The information collected for each student could

include: • DRA2 assessments for beginning, middle and end of

year, running records, anecdotal notes, observation checklists, benchmark scores, and any other assessment data used to monitor student progress

• An actual binder to store the data would be helpful, with a tab for each student, or data could be stored electronically. Consider Google Docs!!

• Should be available at all times for administrators to access, and should be used as documentation when bringing students to the SST process

Progress

Monitoring

What is the purpose? * To help you move your readers forward How do you do that? * Set individual student goals * A goal could be a student’s struggle with: Comprehension, Accuracy, Decoding, Fluency, Vocabulary, or Extending Meaning * Track the student’s growth with that goal, moving them forward as they progress *Your guided lesson might be reviewing C/E, but when you listen to each of your students read, you are making notes regarding their specific goal
