Professional Development from THE Guided Reading EXPERT!


I felt giddy, and star struck, and oh so excited! This was a great day!!  I recently had the pleasure of attending a professional development workshop with THE Jan Richardson...how lucky am I?!?!  OK...I can admit it... I LOVE Jan Richardson!  As an ESOL specialist, I spend most of my school day doing guided reading lessons with my students; and I have been a LONG time admirer of her work.

Modified Guided Reading with ELLs: A guest post at "Minds in Bloom."

Guided reading is an important component of a balanced literacy program. It is when individualized reading instruction is provided to a small group of students. The group size is typically between 4 to 6 students, and each lesson is approximately 20 minutes. The teacher meets with each group several times a week, and provides targeted instruction on reading skills and comprehension strategies.
