Guided Reading Guided reading is a strategy that a teacher
uses to help students become great readers. The teacher's role is to provide support to a small group of students by using a variety of reading strategies to guide them to become successful in reading. Books used in guided reading are taken from the Ohio Book room.
These books are specifically chosen to address the reading abilities of each child,
and are used to increase their reading strategies. These books include both fiction and non-fiction selections that cover a wide
variety of topics.
* During this small group work the other children in the room are actively engaged
doing independent literacy activities.

Shared ReadingDuring shared reading, a story is read by the
teacher to a whole group of children. The children are engaged in the literature
through discussions, predictions, illustrations, and questioning techniques.
Independent ReadingDuring independent reading, children are
able to select a text and read silently to themselves for an extended period of time.
The child can select books that are “just right” for them. They are able to make
connections within the book.
