Guided Reading is a teaching approach that is designed to help individual students learn how to process a variety of increasingly challenging texts with comprehension and fluency. Guided reading is a differentiation method that is most effective when instruction is delivered in the smallest group possible to address the specific literacy needs of the students. The teacher selects and introduces texts to readers, supports them while reading the text, engages the readers in discussion, and performs mini-lessons before, during, and after the reading. The teacher can also extend the meaning of the text through writing or another learning activity. https://spiralwarmups.com/guided-reading-resources/
