The purpose of Guided Reading is to address individual needs in a smaller setting. Your child will be put into reading groups with other children based on their reading level. We will read together and do activities to challenge and enhance your child’s learning. A book will be sent home with your student weekly for reading practice. This may be a book we are reading in our groups, or it may be a library book for your child to explore. Parent involvement is encouraged! Look at cover/title page, review the pictures, make predictions, ask questions, talk about setting, characters, have your child retell the story to you, etc. Guided Reading
