What Guided Reading looks like in our classroom: 

Guided Reading is when the teacher meets with a small group of students with similar needs to teach and reinforce reading strategies.

I start the meeting with a quick word study activity and then we will read a book together selected by me.  The book will be on one level higher than they are currently reading in Reader's Workshop. I will then follow up with comprehension questions and activities.  We will work on the same book for the entire week!
