In this course you will see an experienced primary teacher demonstrate how guided reading lessons help emergent-level readers unlock the meaning of text. You'll see students engage with print, increase their sight vocabularies and phonics skills, and gain fluency.
Guided reading enables primary teachers to work closely with small groups of students as they read text that is appropriate for their skill level.
You will learn how to:
- use questions, prompts and other forms of scaffolding to enhance students' literacy growth
- introduce new texts to young readers in ways that support reading success and generate the use of good reading strategies
- incorporate word work into guided reading lessons without taking away from the main purpose of the lesson - reading!
