Product Description
uliThis is an important book for teachers, administrators, prospective teachers, college professors, or anyone seeking to provide quality teaching to children in their first years of schooling./ibr / - Harvard Educational Review/ulPAmong the many changes to sweep American literacy education has been a move toward whole class instruction. Nonetheless, children still bring to literacy a wide range of experiences and competencies. How, then, might teachers best support a literate community yet still meet the needs of individual readers? For Fountas and Pinnell, the answer lies in guided reading, which allows children to develop as individual readers within the context of a small group. Their new book is the richest, most comprehensive guided reading resource available today and the first systematic offering of instructional support for guided reading adherents. /PPIGuided Reading/I was written for K-3 classroom teachers, reading resource teachers, teacher educators, preservice teachers, researchers, administrators, and staff developers. Based on the authors' nine years of research and development, it explains how to create a balanced literacy program based on guided reading and supported by read aloud, shared reading, interactive writing, and other approaches. While there is an entire chapter devoted solely to the process by which children become literate, every chapter clearly presents the theoretical underpinnings of the practices it suggests. Also included are guidelines for: /PLIobservation and assessment /LILIdynamic grouping of readers /LILIcreating sets of leveled books /LILIselecting and introducing books /LILIteaching for strategies /LILIclassroom management. /LIPBest of all, there are well over 2,500 leveled books in the Appendixes, along with many other reproducible resources that teachers will use for years to come. /PP"Good first teaching is the foundation of education and the right of every child," assert the authors. With the publication of this book, educators themselves will find the foundation in reading skills instruction they so rightly deserve. /P

A home-schoolers review September 25, 2008
This book was lent to me by a classroom teacher who's a friend of mine. He called it a "life saver." A few of the chapters didn't apply to me at all because they were about classroom management and assessment, but the other chapters were really excellent. I learned what to expect from my kids at different levels, and what to practice with them. I thought it was a great balance for the phonics approach that so many home-schoolers use. The authors show how to move from reading to a child, to reading with a child, to guiding the child as she reads, and then supporting a child's independent reading. The authors have a similar approach for teaching writing. There are two huge book lists, one organized by title and one by reading level--very helpful!

Great Book - How to make great Guided Reading groups May 14, 2007
Great classroom resource. Photocopy the worksheets to organize your groups with ease. Activities of what students not in teacher led groups could be doning with photocopy cards you can use in a chart to organize.br /This book was highly recommended to me, I borrowed a copy, then decided I needed my own.

Great book to help teachers organize their classroom for guided reading groups. Has wonderful ideas to impliment learning centers and management of those centers while teaching guided reading groups. Our school has a copy of this book for each teacher to model their classroom after.

I knew that my guided reading program needed to change, but didn't no exactly how to go about improving it. This book has all the answers! Although I'm on summer break, I can't wait to go back in the fall and get started on my new literacy program, putting into practice all the things I've learned from this book.

I had this book at close tabs at all times. I really loved the icons they have at the back of the book (these are center icons). I photocopied and laminated them, and used them to rotated the children through their centers daily. I LOVE the list of books for each reading level. A big help when choosing books to read with each reading group. Excellent book. A must have in each classroom.
