TeachDB17 Jul 28 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A1. Guided reading promotes time for targeted, individualized instruction in using appropriate strategies. #G2Great

Shannon_Croston Jul 28 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A1: GR is right in the middle. Ts are coaching Ss in their zone of proximal dev. Ss are working above their Ind level. #G2Great

franmcveigh Jul 28 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A1: GR is major time for Ss to use everything they know about reading /practice w/ support. 1 part of Bal. Lit. #G2Great

IdeaShopPD Jul 28 @ 8:37 PM EDT

#G2Great A1: it's the best part of my job where I get to know my readers on an individual level. The dessert of the meal of you will!

annrich7 Jul 28 @ 8:37 PM EDT

#G2Great A1: I see G. R. as a last step toward independence. S's practicing strategies that they will soon be able to do on their own.

hayhurst3 - Moderator Jul 28 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@lbdteach I love teaching second grade (I'm a Literacy Coach) it's one of my favorite grades! #G2Great

DrGLK Jul 28 @ 8:38 PM EDT

Guided Reading is an opportunity for SS to practice what we have taught. #G2Great

TeachDB17 Jul 28 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A1. It fits into balanced instruction as a time to practice and refine before applying it to other areas. #G2Great

BergsEyeView Jul 28 @ 8:38 PM EDT

DrJanrichardson Jul 28 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A1 #G2Great Thread your whole-group focus into your GR lessons so you can differentiate by text level and degree of support.

MrsJFountain Jul 28 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A1: GR-format for small group instruction where Ss approach texts within ZPD w/support. Use when Ss prepare to move to next level. #g2great

DrJanrichardson Jul 28 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Whole group instruction can fool you into thinking everyone is understanding. GR is the reality check. #G2Great

annrich7 Jul 28 @ 8:39 PM EDT

#G2Great love this model...Guided reading should stretch our students` thinking & skills. https://t.co/CEVOi2wbNu

@IdeaShopPD I love GR too!!!! Such a great part of my day. #G2Great

KateGeorgeBRP Jul 28 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A1 gr is the bridge between shared reading and independent reading and the t can really sync strategy, s, and text #G2Great

brennanamy - Moderator Jul 28 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A1: It is about guiding students to independence #G2Great

ElisaW5 Jul 28 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A1 GR is the point when Ss get to try strategies they've learned w/as needed support from the T. It's opp for T 2 study Ss. #G2Great

DrJanrichardson Jul 28 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@bookblogmomma Welcom Jackie and thanks to your hubby. #G2Great

A1 Guided reading is the final (WE DO) in a gradual release model as we move STs to increasing independence (I DO). #G2Great

brennanamy - Moderator Jul 28 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@Shannon_Croston @lauramossa It really is all about leaning back and taking in all that Ss are doing in their reading #G2Great

franmcveigh Jul 28 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A1: GR is also where confidence and personal belief in "I can do this" becomes real for the reader. #G2Great

hayhurst3 - Moderator Jul 28 @ 8:42 PM EDT

All is important and it's the thoughtful teacher who knows how to strike the balance that works for Ss #G2Great https://t.co/RFJYdz2mPE

#g2great I’ll mostly be following the conversation tonight as I’ve never done formal guided reading. Just flexible small groups.

TeachDB17 Jul 28 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Yes! Guiding to independence is key! We want Ss to own the learning and use of strategies! #G2Great https://t.co/1k9crL2XDw

brennanamy - Moderator Jul 28 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A1: It is about guiding students to independence #G2Great

MrsJFountain Jul 28 @ 8:43 PM EDT

GR helps w/new genres or texts that Ss don't personally relate to. It gives me a peek at strategic actions Ss use & approximate.#g2great

BergsEyeView Jul 28 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A1: Guided reading done right can be a before, during, & after, data driven, individualized, intentional, & targeted intervention. #G2Great

PegGrafwallner Jul 28 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A2 The challenge is HS mindset. I collaborate w/ Ts daily & remind them the power of using guided rdg as tool 2 help Ss practice #G2Great

lauramossa Jul 28 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@franmcveigh I agree! Really working hard during our summer school program to let Ss do the work! #G2Great

annrich7 Jul 28 @ 8:46 PM EDT

#G2Great A2: For me, sometimes keeping up with which students are making progress and which ones need more time.
