Guided Reading Course Description

There are 12 units of study in this reading instruction course.

Building a Balanced Library Framework

Have you ever wished you had an effective method for reaching your struggling readers? If yes, you may be ready to learn the secret that thousands of teachers are now employing to change their reading instruction: differentiated instruction mixed with guided reading. In this session, we'll take a first look at it, and I'll explain how combining these strategies can help you develop a balanced literary framework that enables your pupils to successfully negotiate a variety of texts.

Getting to Know Your Readers

The initial step in assisting your students is to learn who they are and how their minds function. This course will teach you how to analyze the readiness, interests, learning profiles, and social factors of your pupils. Then, you may use this knowledge to guide meaningful, targeted education that will help them view reading as a pleasurable activity rather than a work.

Planning Assessments

Assessment is at the core of differentiated instruction because you need to know where your students stand before you can move them forward. Learn how to plan pre-, formative, and summative assessments that provide a clear picture of student learning in today's lesson. The greatest benefit of testing pupils at multiple intervals is the ability to determine what is working and what is not, and to alter teaching tactics accordingly.

Grouping Students

In this session, we'll explore flexible groups, which are a staple in differentiated classrooms since they allow you to mix kids for various reasons on different days. Sometimes you'll group pupils based on their interests, and sometimes you'll group them based on their preparedness or learning profile. Regardless of how you employ flexible groups, you'll love how this strategy allows you to handle diverse student populations.

Selecting Texts

There are practically thousands of alternatives when it comes to selecting the literature you will teach. However, you can significantly reduce your options by learning the criteria for excellent fiction and nonfiction literature. After we complete this lesson, you will choose the correct texts the first time.

Framing Your Before Reading

Did you know that the majority of the learning process depends on how you prepare kids before they begin reading? This is the subject of this lesson. You'll be shocked at the results if you organize the time before reading with activities that build anticipation and ground the book in earlier learning. 

Reading the Text

How children read a text is a highly personal subject, yet to achieve the best results in the classroom, reading must be directed. In this course, you will discover how to instruct kids in proper reading techniques, comprehension, and inference. The ultimate goal is for your kids to have truly meaningful interactions with the book, and I have the strategies you need to do this.

Navigating the After Reading Framework

Does learning end when students put a book down? I hope not! The time to really help students process the text and extend their learning in new avenues is after students finish reading and have the chance to start thinking for themselves. Today, we'll go over the after-reading framework, where you'll teach students to turn information into ideas as they go beyond the text and into the world.

Tiering With Ease

If you imagine your classroom as a ladder, you will notice that there are many pupils on many different rungs. In today's course, we will examine the notion of tiering, which allows you to divide students based on their readiness, interests, or learning profiles. The challenge is to do so without making certain pupils feel more or less competent than others. Are you anxious to learn the secrets? You'll have them mastered in no time!

Anchoring Your Students to Extra Learning

What do you do with the 10 to 15 minutes remaining at the end of a class or school day? Anchoring your students to the stuff they've studied by extending learning into new areas is an increasingly common strategy. You can do this through games, writing prompts, and a variety of other enjoyable, imaginative activities. In today's session, we will examine a multitude of brilliant concepts.

Crafting Independent Reading Projects

Your ultimate objective with the balanced literary framework is to cultivate independent readers who are self-assured and adept at navigating new texts with ease. This course will teach you the fundamentals of curriculum compacting, learning contracts, and individual projects, all of which are designed to help your students transition to independence. You will be astounded by how effectively students learn when they work individually.

Putting the Puzzle Together

In this session, we will conclude the course by reviewing the foundation for classroom learning. Your outlook determines everything. (It almost merits repetition!) You must also be able to motivate struggling readers and assist parents in extending the lesson at home. Once your foundation is solid, both students and parents will take the initiative to create great reading experiences.
