2. Guided Reading is a small group structure used to support students’ reading of instructional level texts. In guided reading the teacher pulls together a group of readers who read at the same level with, ideally, the same types of needs. He or she carefully selects a text at their instructional level (one that can be read with 90 to 95 percent accuracy, or one where fluency or comprehension is less than secure). Guided Reading

4. The teacher will need to plan a text introduction that helps to activate prior knowledge, supports students with text structure, introduce key vocabulary words, and set an intention for reading. (Before) Book Text Introduction

5. Students read independently, whisper reading at lower levels. The teacher makes her way around to each student and listens to the students read. During times of challenge the teacher offers supportive prompts and questions. When the student overcomes a challenge, the teacher may compliment by naming what the student has done. (During) Reading With Coaching

6. After all children have read the selected text at least once, the teacher will call the students back together to offer a teaching point based on her observations and/or will engage the children in a discussion about the text. (After) Discussion and Teaching
