Guided reading allows teachers to monitor students while they read texts appropriate to their instructional reading levels. It typically includes these standard components:
– Collaborating in small teams
– Aligning student reading skills with text difficulty levels
– Providing each individual in the group with identical text
– Presenting the text
– Hearing people read
– Encouraging students to unify their reading strategies
– Involving students in discussions regarding the text.
The objective is to assist Grade 12 students in creating strategies for independent application. Work emphasizes processes essential for proficient reading, like cross-referencing print with meaning, instead of memorizing the definitions of words from a specific book. In guided reading, educators observe student reading behaviors and ensure that texts are accessible to them, enabling learners to combine their newly learned skills into a cohesive, integrated reading system.
This ebook will assist you in practicing guided reading with your 12th-grade classes. It includes a complete lesson plan with activities and recommended answers that takes about 90 minutes.
