Guided Reading
How to use leveling tools yourself Guided reading is an instructional approach that teacher uses when students are reading at the same level of instruction. The teacher selects books from certain reading levels to guide students to make connections from print to the text. The books are easily read with the support of the teacher. Challenges and opportunities for problem solving are offered in the text. Choice selection of the books from the teacher will expand their strategies. The purpose of guided reading is for the teacher to select books that students can read with 90% accuracy. When the story is introduced to the student by the teacher, the students, through their own strategies understand and enjoy the story because it is available to them. Pinnell, (2007) states that guided reading gives students the chance to apply the strategies they already know to new text. The teacher supplies support, but the ultimate goal is independent reading. Readers that have developed some since of print have already gained important understanding of it. If they have encountered a problem in reading they will monitor their own reading and check on themselves while searching for possibilities or alternatives
How to locate list of leveled books. In order for the teacher to locate leveled

    This plan could help me accomplish my reading goals by helping me to focus and comprehend more. Also by increasing my reading level. This plan could help me to be more of a conscious reader and not just one who reads material and doesn’t retain any of the information. This can also be helpful by letting me skim over the text due to my note taking and…

    In my own education, the reading activities that have had the most effect on my reading have varied. During my primary years, the strategies that we now call direct reading instruction helped build the foundational comprehension and vocabulary skills needed for reading more complex texts in college. While reading, I use context clues to try and understand any unknown vocabulary words. If this strategy does not work, I use my computer to look up synonyms for the word and re-read the sentence by replacing it with a word I understand. Additionally, I reread the entire paragraph with the synonym to derive the meaning of the concept or topic.…

    When reading to students or encouraging independent reading, students can have limited information about the topic of the book. The role of the teacher is assuring that students understand what they are reading, and to ask questions as they are reading. Tompkins (2014), explain several methods teachers can use to check if students understand the reading. One method is asking students to make predictions as they are reading the story. By pausing in specific areas, students reflect on what they have just read, and what they think might happen next (263). Pausing the story in specific areas will help teachers check for understanding and analyze the areas students are having challenges. In several classroom observations, I have seen teachers have…

    When I began my tutoring sessions with Amira, she set a goal for herself of moving up a reading level and stated that she wanted to be a “good reader.” Meeting her goal by moving up to an independent level E by our final session made Amira proud. I also discussed the Goldilocks strategy with Amira, so that she knew how to pick appropriate books at her level. This was a familiar concept as her teacher had discussed this in Kindergarten. It was valuable to revisit the strategy as I needed to be sure Amira was choosing books which she could be successful in reading outside of our tutoring…

    My guided reading groups will have my students grouped based on the text they can read with accuracy. I plan on using running records to group my students for guided reading. The purpose of my groups are to allow my students to expand on the strategies they are leaning within a text they can comprehend. During my guided reading groups I will be working with a select group while the other students will be engaged in meaningful tasks that promote learning and literacy (Fountas & Pinnell, 2012). During my guided reading groups I also want to give my students opportunities with text that are on the “edge of their learning” where it pushes my students thinking with the support of the teacher (Fountas & Pinnell, 2012). Jones and Proctor (2015) says text selection is also important because some text lends its self to more meaning discussions (Jones & Proctor 2015). Guided reading lets me really work with my students on a level that they can participate…

    There are two types of guided reading interactive, and observational. Observational guided reading should be used for beginner readers. In this procedure student’s will read a text chosen by the teacher. The student will read the text once independently then students will read the story with the teacher while he or she helps coach students through making some predictions and using reading strategies. By beginning with observational guided reading teachers can slowly introduce reading to students at a deeper level by coaching students through the beginning stages of reading. With Observational guided reading I, would group students by their reading level. Some students may be high beginner readers where other may have trouble with phonemes still…

There are several different levels of methodology, ranging from the simplest stories with one theme to more complex stories having more than one them or subplots. The simpler stories are easy for children to read and keep up with what is going on. However, the more complex stories may have two or three threads that all tie in together in the end. The words and the stories of the simpler leveled reading books are…

    It is said that the cause of the low reading performance of the students is vividly linked to the comprehension level and reading skills of the students. Thus, there is a need then to remedy the situation. As Goodman (1972) says to address the pressing problem educators need to go back to the function of reading as the basic tool in all subject areas because much of the learning is anchored on this macro-skill which is an indispensable…
