with visual cues
• combine meaning with phonic cues
• use efficient directional movement

MEANING
THREE TYPES OF CUES READERS USE
Reading is easy for fluent readers. The fluent reader uses many strategies. The fluent reader is willing to take risks when reading.
BUT:
Poor readers--- • have few strategies • do not attend to the
visual details • do not use meaning• rely on what can be
invented from memory
• guess(uneducated)• do not self-correct
Reading is hard work for poor readers. If the poor reader is
allowed to practice these ineffective strategies, they
become a habit. Once these ineffective strategies become a habit the student is a “disabled
reader”.
What are some effective practices for at-risk readers?
• Give many opportunities for phonemic awareness.• Give many opportunities to read easy material.• Practice reading using real books.• Never waste time on unnecessary activities.• Practice skills used by fluent readers.• Tell them everything they need to know.• Respect individual differences.• Teach on instructional level in guided reading
group.
DEFINITION FOR GUIDED READING
Guided reading is a procedure used with small groups or individual children who are grouped and taught according to their instructional level. They are taught and continuously monitored for progress and further needs.
Components Unique to a Guided Reading
Lesson• There is continuous assessment of readers to
keep them on their instructional edge with increasingly difficult texts.
• There are small groups (6 or less) on similar reading level and taught at a table within touching distance.
• Each student has a real book on his level.• Each student reads entire text silently.• Guided Reading is (must be) done DAILY!
Struggles that most teachers have include:
dividing students in their instructional levels
deciding on the appropriate materials reading with all groups knowing when to move children in and out
of groups managing the students not in the small
group

DIAGNOSE
AND THEN
PRESCRIBE!
Methods of Assessment and Monitoring
• Basic Literacy Test (BLT)• S.T.A.R. test• State and county mandated
tests• Generated Word List• Dictated Sentences• Running Records/Miscue
Analysis
Five components of a Balanced reading
lesson
Number One: Teacher maintains appropriate over-all classroom
environment.
• Students are trained to work independently without interrupting the teacher (broken pencil points, restroom breaks, equipment failure, fast finishers, etc.).
• Students are given meaningful work and clear directions.
• Students are already assigned to small GR groups.
• Books and materials are ready and handy.

Number Two: Teacher activates prior knowledge.
Teacher connects new learning with prior knowledge by
• a picture walk;• a vocabulary walk;• questioning to relate to
personal experiences, other subject areas, feelings;
• a discussion related to the topic.

Number three: Teacher introduces the text to support student problem
solving during student reading.
The teacher supports students by• setting the purpose for reading;• teaching specific vocabulary and
concepts necessary to comprehend the material;
• reminding students of particular strategies or skills that may be needed.

Number Four: Teacher observes, coaches, and supports students as they read the selection silently at
their own pace.The teacher• observes students as they read
entire selection silently.• has each child read a passage
individually aloud;• offers hints as needed (COACH);• takes individual running records;• takes notes on reading behaviors;• has students search for answers to
questions.

Number Five: Teacher engages students in meaningful conversation after the
reading to support a teaching point and develop comprehension.
The teacher and the students• check comprehension through questioning,
retelling or summarizing;• check predictions through questioning;• discuss strategies used (tell them);• revisit interesting or troublesome passages;• reread to locate answers, important concepts or
vocabulary;• write a short response to the text as needed.

WHY IS GUIDED READING MORE
EFFECTIVE THAN OLD READING GROUPS?
OKAY, OKAY, BUT WHAT ABOUT
THOSE OTHER DARLINGS
RUNNING AROUND THE ROOM?
LET’S GET REAL!!!!!!!
HOW DO I GET ALL OF THIS IN DURING MY LANGUAGE ARTS TIME?
LET’S REVIEW
Boggle• Look over notes and think.• Write down everything you can
remember in 2 minutes.• Share with a partner for 2 minutes.• Share with another group for 2
minutes.• Share with the entire group in
circle.
