What is Guided Reading?
Guided Reading is a small group instruction, which allows the teacher to provide explicit teaching and support for reading increasingly challenging texts. As the teacher targets and implements reading strategies that help guide and support the reader, students learn to think like proficient readers.
There are so many instructional options available in this 600+ page Guided Reading Level D Curriculum, which help make this the most effective guided reading instruction available!

These can be used as part of the lesson, a center rotation, homework, or seat work. In addition, as students work through the books, they may need to be bumped up a level of practice.
