Each day students meet in reading groups for reading instruction. The reading group is lead by the teacher. Students are placed in reading groups according to reading level. Groups are kept small and usually contain readers that have the same instructional needs. The reading materials are determined by the groups reading abilities. Each group meets for 10-30 minutes a day depending on the instructional needs of the group. Usually the group with the most instructional need meets for the longest amount of time. While in reading groups students will receive reading instruction and support on a text. Each student has to read the entire text. The teacher uses this time to teach the students reading strategies,monitor fluency, and teach the five reading components to the students.
This semester I was able to teach guided reading on a number of occasions. While teaching in small groups I was able to work with students one-on-on as well as a group. During this time I was able to focus on the needs of each particular group. I had to differeniate instruction based on the groups reading levels. Each group had their own plan of instruction to meet their instructional needs.click here to view a full lesson plan of my guided reading groups
