Getting Organized Grouping My Students
What is Guided Reading?
Guided reading is small-group instruction for students who read the same text. The group is homogeneous: the students read at about the same level, demonstrate similar reading behaviors, and share similar instructional needs. The small groups are temporary; they change as you assess your students’ growth and needs. --from Guiding Readers and Writers: Grades 3-6 by Fountas & Pinnell

Turn and Talk- Talk to your neighbor about the videos and the information you saw. Any other thoughts or ideas?
Making GroupsComplete assessments using Reading 3D or
Running RecordsUse data to make 4 to 5 flexible groups with 4
to 6 kids in each groupStudents need to be grouped by similar levels
with similar reading behaviorsPull materials (leveled readers, Weekly
Readers, EOG passage, etc.) to use in small groups
Each student must have a copy of the same book or text
Keep a “browsing box” of books that have been read by your students to help with fluency

Characteristics of Text in Guided Reading using Leved Text- DRA.pdf
Guided Reading ActivityThere are four different stations
set up around the roomEach station is divided by the
grade level texts appropriate for that grade level (K-3rd grade)
You will be numbered off to rotate through each grade level’s texts
Steps for activity:Read the characteristics for each levelChoose one level in that grade level to
focus onDiscuss as a group what the characteristics
for that level meanDiscuss ways you could incorporate these
characteristics in your Guided Reading lesson
Use a blank Guided Reading Lesson Plan template to create a lesson plan for that book
