At our MOY meetings, we spent some time discussing our new Scholastic
Book Room and Guided Reading. Several
teachers mentioned that they were never trained in Guided Reading and expressed
an interest in learning the most effective way to teach it.
For the 2017-2018 school year, we will be using a Literacy Framework
that includes Guided Reading as a part of our reading block. A friend passed
along the following information and a website for Jen Bengel. She has experience in training, curriculum
writing, and as a Literacy Collaborative Coordinator. Her experiences helped her narrow down Guided
Reading into 6 steps. She believes that
these steps can be used at any level and offers consistency across the levels. My hope is that you will find this information
useful and a jumpstart for next year.
Jen can be found at Out of This World
Literacy, http://www.outofthisworldliteracy.com/6-steps-in-guided-reading/ where she offers
frees samples of Guided Reading Objectives and Independent Extensions. Best of all, she has a free Guided Reading
Webinar, where she explains each step and shows examples. Her next one is Tuesday, February 28th
@ 7:30 p.m. I would be happy to stay and
project it ~ we can order pizza and make an evening of learning together ~ RSVP
soon!
