This is my slide deck from my session at the North Carolina Reading Conference last week in Raleigh, NC. I do staff development to schools and districts all over the country about best practices in literacy instruction. This topic is one of my most requested.

16. The following slides illustrate
what the rest of the class
is doing independently of you
while you and a small group of students
are doing Guided Reading.

28. “Since we’re the GIFTED
group, can we please do
more packets?” said NO
gifted student ever!

29. “Guided Reading is not coming to the guided reading table and completing worksheets
with or without the teacher, it is not doing projects, it is not discussing and talking about
their independent reading books, it is not assessing one student while the rest read
silently, it is not having students read and retell to each other while you write a parent
email or shop online, it is not book clubs or literature circles without the teacher, it is
not reading to them, for them or with them, it is not writing Guided Reading in your
lesson plan book and not actually teaching guided reading, and it is not playing games
and coloring sheets with or without the teacher. Guided reading is not guided reading
if only 1 or 2 students are sitting at the table and guided reading is done best at a
horseshoe shaped table with the teacher on one side and six students pulled up to the
other side of the table. Guided reading is also done best when the guided reading table
is clean and clear of clutter. This paragraph probably doesn't apply to you, but I just
had to put it out there.”
