What is Guided Reading?

Teaching kids how to read is a priority in schools. How can we accomplish this goal when our classes are made of such diverse levels? This poses as a challenge for most teachers. Guided Reading groups allows teachers to tailor their instruction to meet the needs of their individual students' specific reading needs. Guided Reading is an approach used by teachers to meet the vast instructional needs of all students in the classroom. In small groups, teachers teach a selected book and reading strategies they can apply to all books. Students are grouped in homogenous groups based on reading levels. The end goal is that students are confident, proficient readers who love to read.
