This article identifies with four important areas of focus when implementing groups including, establishing routines and independence, proper text selection, instruction, and assessment (Greene, 2019).  This article is a great guide when launching guided reading groups, it also offers helpful suggestions for what to do with students that are working independently while you are in session with groups. One important thing to remember according to Greene is, "the composition of your guided reading groups isn't etched in stone" (Greene, 2019). Students will be continuously changing, evolving, and progressing during guided reading so it is important to be flexible make adjustments based on the needs of your students. ]]> 2019-01-16 18:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/dweaver9/5q3p31yb4rty/wish/321380150 dweaver9 https://padlet.com/dweaver9/5q3p31yb4rty/wish/321388086 This article is about various components of guided reading that need to be adjusted when teaching in a classroom today.   The areas of focus throughout this article include equity issues, professional learning, management, and self-evaluation. Guided reading has been around for a long time and was first implemented in 1996, therefore Routman feels that it is still a wonderful program, but updates need to be made based on the changes in students and education (Routman, 2018). Some of the suggestions made throughout this article include; making sure all students have access to quality materials, continued education for teachers, using multiple strategies so students can gain a deeper understanding of text, shorter duration when seeing groups, and keeping yourself and school in check with guided reading research (Routman, 2018).  What I have taken away from this article is that you truly need to teach to the students in your group, rather than the program you are following.  ]]> 2019-01-16 18:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dweaver9/5q3p31yb4rty/wish/321388086 dweaver9 https://padlet.com/dweaver9/5q3p31yb4rty/wish/321390794 In this article from January 31, 2017, author Justin Minkel teaches 2nd and 3rd graders with 85% being English Language Learners. (Minkel, 2017). Minkel offers several ways to encourage a love for reading, as well as ways that you can inhibit a passion for reading by what you do in your classroom. Some of the ways that Minkel states that Guided reading can help students grow a passion for reading include, giving students real books rather than photocopies, giving student plenty of opportunity to read in class, have lots of conversations about the books being read, make Guided Reading groups meaningful, and teaching students how to read with pleasure and purpose (Minkel, 2017). This article give two perspectives on Guided Reading, which gave me the opportunity to learn not only what I should incorporate while performing Guided Reading groups, but also suggested things that I should refrain from doing. ]]> 2019-01-16 18:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/dweaver9/5q3p31yb4rty/wish/321390794 dweaver9 https://padlet.com/dweaver9/5q3p31yb4rty/wish/321392623 Many of the articles I am finding support either guided reading or some sort of explicit intervention that has an instructional purpose to support the group of learners you are teaching. ]]> 2019-01-16 18:48:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dweaver9/5q3p31yb4rty/wish/321392623 dweaver9 https://padlet.com/dweaver9/5q3p31yb4rty/wish/321395542 "Guided reading is any learning context in which the teacher guides one or more students through some aspect of the reading process: choosing books, making sense of text, decoding and defining words, reading fluently, monitoring one’s comprehension, determining the author’s purpose, and so on. In guided reading, the teacher builds on students’ strengths and supports and demonstrates whatever is necessary to move the child toward independence. (Routman, Reading Essentials, 2003, p. 151 and Literacy Essentials, 2018)." (Routman, 2018)
