You will plan a guided reading strategy lesson for a children’s book. You will include sight words, word building, introduce the text and connect it to the students, explain tricky vocabulary words/concepts, state a specific decoding or comprehension strategy you will teach. During reading you will provide prompts to support the readers while they read independently. After students read the text, you will discuss the text and help students make connections by asking questions and reviewing the decoding or comprehension strategy you introduced before they read the book. You will also include a writing connection where students can complete a writing activity based on ideas/concepts or words from the book to connect to apply what they were taught during the guided reading lesson.
Examples of the template and what needs to be done is attached below.
