Guided Reading: What's New, and What's Next?

by Michael Ford

In an era of change in education, the time is right to refocus attention on guided reading practices. Guided reading remains an anchor in small group literacy instruction, but how has it changed with the new shifts? In this book, Michael Ford provides a practical resource to guided reading. He explains how it has evolved, why it's important, how to fit it into a comprehensive literacy program, how to select texts, how to position it for intervention, and how to assess students. Also included is an appendix with a listing of guided reading books.

Time to take a critical look at what we have been doing in the name of guided reading and time to move it forward.

[Shari (Shira) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mike Ford's common sense, practical approach to a rather complex instructional strategy is just what the doctor ordered. Now, how do we get teachers to read it?
