Quick Review of Guided Reading


BEFORE READING
  • Set the purpose
  • Introduce unfamiliar vocab
  • When possible, make predictions
  • Talk about the target strategy/skill


DURING READING
  • Students read aloud
  • Ask comprehension questions
  • Give prompts or clues as needed 
  • If a student is struggling with a word, often the other students tell them the pronunciation. Instead, coach them, "Try that again. Does that make sense? Look at how the word begins."
  • Give students an opportunity to read independently to practice the skill 


AFTER READING
  • Discuss if using the skill made a difference 
  • Ask questions that require more than a Yes or No response
  • Help students make connections from text to life
