December Blog: Examine Guided Reading by September H Bennett
For the past couple of months, I have been trying to figure
out how to streamline and fully integrate guided reading into our daily
schedule. Time, of course is a major factor. Engagement and management are
others. Through this chapter I have found that there are numerous opportunities
for guided reading practice throughout the day. This chapter prompted me to
apply what I read and create a chart to implement in my classroom.
After addressing time concerns, I was able to hone in on
management techniques. The communication piece seems to be the most critical
part of the management process. Modeling your expectations for even the
simplest tasks is mandatory.
Hi September,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate you considering implementing guided reading groups into your classroom. Tell me about what you learned from reading the chapter in Routman's text. What strategies will you incorporate? What will your guided reading groups look like?
