Using guided reading in your classroom is the best way to meet every child where they are at their cutting edge of learning. The most important aspect of guided reading is giving children increased time to read appropriate level text. There is no correct length of time to spend with each group nor is there a strict format that must be followed. The key is to assess students and then modify your teaching to meet the needs of each of your students.
We, as teachers, have a tendency to do the same thing over and over. We like consistency and know that it is important to stick with routines in the classroom. Sometimes, however, you and your students may want or need a change of pace. This following links have been created to give you some suggestions for activities you can use to help 'freshen up' your guided reading groups. Keep in mind that the purpose of guided reading is for children to have an increased amount of time spent reading text at their level. Do not feel like you always need to complete an activity with each reading group.
