Answer to Question #235370 in English for Bokamoso

Question

How does group guided reading takes place in 3rd grade?

Answer 1

You will want to plan your guided reading lessons ahead of time.

Meet with all students in a guided reading group to prioritize each student needs.

Have all materials at hand and keep them simple.

Choose books that are either at your students’ instructional or independent reading level. If the focus of the lesson is comprehension or fluency, it can help to choose books that students can read independently with 99-100% accuracy.

You will need to verse the rest of your class on what is expected from them when you are with a small group (whisper voices, no interruptions, etc.).

Begin the guided reading session, with a quick re-read of known text (from a previous lesson).

Students should have a reader’s notebook that they bring with them to their guided reading book.

Word study activity.

You can use their RIT scores to help plan your guided reading lessons.
