This week, we are bringing in our own articles on guided reading. I found a lot of different articles that provided a lot of information about this topic. One of the articles I read was titled "Teaching Comprehension and Critical Literacy: investigating guided reading in three primary classrooms" by Annie Fisher. This article is very informative and taught me that guided reading is a good thing. I agree - I think guided reading shows that students do not need to be taught analytical comprehension strategies. Read aloud and guided reading can help students learn how to comprehend. It takes out some of the hard parts of reading for beginners like coming across words they do not know yet. Students can be more focused on the meaning of words, using context clues, instead of being on the spot about how to pronounce them.
One of the guided reading activities I found on Pinterest is called "Five Finger Retell". This would be a great activity for students after everything they are reading. You could do this as a class and students can also do this independently and write down their responses to each finger's question! This would be a good thing to blow up and hang in the classroom because it is fun and creative.
