Guided Reading Books

My students need great literature to help guide them through the reading strategies. A few of the books I have chosen, such as Hatchet, are award winning.

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Some of my students have not yet discovered books that capture their imagination. These books could be the books that make my students fall in love with literature and make them soar throughout their educational career.

My students are wonderful students.

They are so eager to learn. They adhere to classroom rules and generally stay on task. However, as we know, students today are under enormous pressure. The expectation set for students today is very high. Every year, students in my school are expected to reach the NYS goals for their grade regardless of the challenges that they face due to their circumstances. Many of my students have economic challenges and lack parental support. As a teacher, it is frustrating to know that many of your students are at a disadvantage, but must still meet their state standards and expectations. The reality is that not all students have books at home. I also have students with IEPs and English Language Learners. These students need to develop and catch up to their grade expectations and these books can help develop their fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

My Project

After meeting with me during the guided reading block, they will work independently or in groups on the strategies that we worked on together as a group. When I'm working with one group, the others will be working in different stations, for example, some will be reading silently, while others will be practicing their fluency with a partner with a timer, and/or another group will be writing about what they're reading.

Guided reading has significant beneficial effects on helping my students develop reading skills.

It is one of the most effective tools not only to improve my students' fundamental reading skills but also to help them develop higher level comprehension skills. With guided reading I can help establish fundamental skills necessary for proficient reading, identify weaknesses and strengthen specific skills, improve attention to detail, build fluency, expand vocabulary knowledge PLUS it's enjoyable.
