For the overwhelmed teacher conducting traditional guided reading groups, this book provides useful information to help the reader see that not all literacy instruction needs to be taught during guided reading. Yet, perhaps even more importantly, the authors explain and demonstrate how teachers can become familiar with their students’ reading processes. The authors give insight on why some students who appear to be good readers are actually struggling with fluency and/or comprehension issues. Useful strategies are suggested to help teachers analyze student reading errors in order to make valuable instructional decisions. Instructional strategies are also provided. Though the strategies are for use in small groups they can be useful for any size group, including whole group. This book enables teachers to gain a deeper understanding of reading processes and therefore become stronger teachers of reading.
