Richardson, Jan,


How to use this guide -- Pre-A -- Emergent: levels A-C -- Early: levels D-I -- Transitional: levels J-P -- Fluent: levels N and higher. How to use this guide -- Pre-A -- Emergent: levels A-C -- Early: levels D-I -- Transitional: levels J-P -- Fluent: levels N and higher "The most powerful component of guided reading at any level is the interaction between the teacher and the reader. And the responses you evoke from the reader are only as good as what you say to elicit those responses. That's why it's important to be clear and focused. In this guide, you'll find prompts, discussion starters, and teaching points to use during guided reading when you want students to process more effectively, think more deeply, and express their ideas more thoughtfully. The sturdy pages and stand-up binding make this guide easy to use while working with small groups. However, the prompts, discussion starters, and teaching points are not meant to be used en masse or in strict sequence. Choose them carefully, based on behaviors you're noticing in your students. Use them as starting points for in-depth inquiry. Revise them as necessary to meet your students' needs. Make them your own -- and listen carefully to how students respond. No doubt you will get valuable information that will inform your next step forward" -- From "How to use this guide," page 1.
