The article I read was right up my alley in terms of resourcefullness. This article is written from the view of a former student teacher who studied guided reading while earning her degree. Yet, when she went to the classroom she observed for her internship, guided reading either wasn't being used at all, or very limited only as a chance for the children to read to one another. By only allowing each child to have a turn reading aloud, the opportunity for meaningful learning was lost. The author then proceeded to do three case studies, observing guided reading in three different classrooms. I loved that she went above and beyond to find a successful model of guided reading to one day involve in her own classroom. This article was a great representation of what a student teacher should do if they feel they are not getting an appropriate model for a specific skill such as guided reading. This reading also gave me three different examples of how guided reading can play out, whether poorly or successfully. I highly recommend every educator to read this article.
The activity below is a fun and interesting way to incorporate critical thinking and creative thinking in guided reading!!
