Guided Reading/Small Group Instruction PreK-2

Guided Reading Resources - here is a refresher from last year. More will come on Guided Reading as we learn about the process in clusters:

The most important component to get set up is which child will be in which group and to PRACTICE coming to guided reading group. This is not going to happen on its own and, like we always say, they have to be taught procedures over and over and over.......
Remember: BE CONSISTENT. The students will totally stink at doing  this at first. DON'T GIVE UP. Keep going, they will get better when they know that you are not going to let up. They will learn: They will have to come to group, they will have work at their seats independently (or in centers), and the rules for these places are non-negotiable. 
*A very simple planning page for setting up groups and when you see them can be found HERE 
*Daily 5 Flipchart for Rotations HERE 
*Chart for reading stamina  HERE

Once you are ready to actually start reading in your guided reading groups :)  Start here:

Remember that you want to still incorporate the "I do, We do, You do" model in Guided Reading. I can help you with this, if you need me to. ;) 
*WAY more detailed guided reading for early grades HERE from Mrs. Jump - she's awesome.

For Guided Reading:
On the Jan Richardson Guided Reading website (mentioned above), the lesson plan format has changed slightly. It looks like it might be a little easier to follow and it is editable in Microsoft Word. I have printed copies for you to use that are in the book room in the manilla folders behind the "Book Check Out" binder. Here is a link to each lesson plan. Click on the picture to go to the file and download from Google Drive:

PRE-A LESSON PLAN:


EMERGENT LESSON PLAN (A-D, 1-6) :

EARLY LESSON PLAN (E-I, 8-16):

TRANSITIONAL LESSON PLAN (J-P, 18-38):

FLUENT LESSON PLAN (P+, 38+):


This is what I use when I plan guided reading, especially for 3rd through 5th grades. It can be printed and made into a book and is an easy resource to grab when you need some guidance to plan a lesson or to scaffold a student during a lesson:

Several of you have asked about how to manage the students during Guided/Independent Reading time or simply when providing student choice. This video from The Teaching Channel might help.
