What is Guided Reading?
Guided Reading is designed to support the reading development of students in all years of primary school. It equips students to:
- Engage meaningfully with complex texts
- Apply a range of reading strategies to read fluently and comprehend the text, by enabling them to respond to literal, inferential and response-based questions
- Make personal connections with the texts
Guided reading involves a teacher working with a small group of students - between four to six with the same reading needs and who independently read texts at the same or similar level.
Guided Reading occurs four days per week in all of our class spaces on a rotating schedule of two twenty minute sessions. This provides students the opportunity to have a guided reading session at least twice per week.
Guided Reading is highly valued by both teachers and students at St Joseph's School.
