Guided Reading Videos

The videos were specific and great examples of how to conduct Guided Reading lessons, demonstrating their purpose and procedures. The process for before, during, and after were meaningful. It was like seeing a verbal KWL being done. Through conferring and monitoring by the child, as well as the teacher, weaknesss were identified and strategies were used for student success. Guided reading is as it says...guided. It is student centered and collaborative. The teacher acts as the facilitator and the results are positive and beneficial to each student. Guided Reading is a super way to enhance your students reading abilities and engage them in the quest to foster a love of reading.
