Briefly discuss your response with the group Be ready to share 7 Ice Breaker Round robin reading is a good guided reading practice. The size of the instructional group doesn t matter. Groups should change periodically according to data. Phonemic awareness and phonics can be a part of the guided reading process. I can use my basal to do guided reading. The teacher s job during guided reading is to listen to the students read. 8 Reading 4

Reading 5

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 What is Guided Reading? A teaching approach that is designed to help individual students learn how to process, with understanding and fluency, a variety of increasingly challenging text. A context in which a teacher supports each reader s development of effective strategies for processing novel texts at increasingly challenging levels of difficulty. From Guided Reading: Good First Teaching for All Children by Fountas and Pinnell, 1996 & 2000 11 Guided Reading is NOT A complete reading program Consistent use of basal text Whole group instruction Writing vocabulary definitions Writing without purpose Round robin reading Sustained silent reading Just for young children 12 Reading 6

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 What is Guided Reading? (Continued) Teacher works with 4-6 students in a group. Children are grouped according to similarities in reading development and instructional reading levels. Teacher introduces stories, strategies, and concepts within the group to increase independent application in appropriate leveled text. Every child reads and is supported by the teacher. Emphasis is on strategic problem solving. It can be adapted for any grade. 13 Why is Guided Reading Important? Reading 7

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 Why Do Guided Reading? Students have a high accuracy rate in reading when the proper text is selected for them. Students are provided with the necessary strategies to overcome reading road blocks. The focus of reading shifts to meaning rather than decoding; the construction of meaning is imperative. It is the bridge between whole group and independent work, between awareness and self-monitoring. 15 Why Do Guided Reading? (Continued) Independent reading and the application of independent reading strategies is the goal of Guided Reading. Students who are fragile learners - below grade level due to limited language and literacy- need almost daily support from an adult in a small group or 1:1 setting to move forward in their reading. Students who are above grade level still need guided reading To learn how to read deeply rather than just on the surface. To learn how to utilize different genres, including short stories, non fiction, poetry, and fables. 16 Reading 8

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 Research Says.. It is estimated that one in three children experience significant difficulties in learning to read. (Adams, 1990). The National Reading Panel s analysis made it clear that the best approach to reading instruction is one that incorporates: Explicit instruction in phonemic awareness Systematic phonics instruction Methods to improve fluency Ways to enhance comprehension 17 How Does Guided Reading Fit Into the 90 Minute Reading Block?

Teachers should meet with at least two groups each day. The frequency that each group meets should be determined by student reading data. 19 Guided Reading During the Reading Block (continued) Time 30-40 minutes-language/writing Instruction- CCSS L.1-6, W.1-8 Daily Mini-Lessons on specific writing skill and language skill Student writing practice: Writing task should be related to topic of minilesson Steps of the writing process should be followed: prewrite, draft, revise, edit, and publish (Students are not expected to complete each step each day. ) Rather, these steps should be taught over the course of an entire unit.) Several weeks should be spent using the writing process in order to publish a piece of writing (be taken through the entire writing process and published.) Students identified by the universal screener Completed by Interventionists and/or Academic Tutors (T3) if available Daily using research-based strategies/program Progress Monitored weekly Additional- 30+ minutes intensive intervention Literacy Components/Brief Description 20 Reading 10

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 Guided Reading During the Reading Block Guided Reading fits into the time allotted for instructional small groups. The teacher should meet with a group while the other students are working in centers that cover the five components of reading. A complete guided reading lesson can be taught in one session, or may be stretched over several days. 21 How are Students Grouped for Guided Reading? Reading 11

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 Grouping for Guided Reading The students should be grouped according to their reading levels and assessment results. There should be 4 to 6 students in each group. Reading levels should be determined with the use of running records and STAR reports. It is important to use more than one piece of data for forming groups and progress monitoring. It is also important to look at the scale score differences before forming groups. 23 Using the Instructional Planning Report to Group Students 24 Reading 12

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 Using the Instructional Planning Report to Group Students 25 Effectively Using Running Records Reading 13

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 What is it? Running Records A running record is a method of assessing reading that can be done quickly and frequently. An individually conducted formative assessment, which is ongoing and curriculum based. Provides a graphic representation of a student's oral reading, identifying patterns of effective and ineffective strategy use. 27 Why use a Running Record? Information about a student's use of reading strategies An accuracy rate An error rate A self-correction rate Information about a student's self-monitoring Another piece of data for progress monitoring and fidelity Document reading progress over time Help teachers decide what students need to learn Match students to appropriate books 28 Reading 14

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 What does a Running Record look like? 29 How do I use a Running Record? Choose a leveled book by using STAR scale scores and Grade Equivalency. Have the student read a minimum of 100 words aloud while the teacher tracks errors. Divide running words by errors Round that number to the nearest whole number (e.g. 9.5 rounds to 10, 9.2 rounds to 9) Locate the ratio on the chart Go to the next lowest ratio if your ratio isn t listed on the chart (e.g. if your ratio is 1:16 then you would go down to 1:14) Locate the corresponding percent of accuracy. 30 Reading 15

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 Running Record Activity Listen to the student reading Complete a running record on the passage provided using your running record handouts. Determine the student s level using the guided reading calculation chart. 31 Leveled Text Reading 16

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 What are guided reading levels? A way to level books based on a text gradient 33 The Value of Leveled Text Make it easier to select appropriate books to use with groups of students in guided reading. Help assess and record students progress over time. Help guide students/teachers when selecting books for independent reading. Provide a ladder that students can use to gradually increase their reading abilities. 34 Reading 17

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 Cautions When Using Leveled Books Using leveled books is not a way to return to the old way of doing reading groups-blue Birds, etc... Students do not need to read each book at a level before going to another level. Leveling is not an exact science. Children s interest and the amount of support you can provide are other factors to consider. Leveled books are only a small part of the classroom collection and are not intended to limit student reading. 35 Matching Books to Readers What are we aiming for? Independent Level: 95-100% word accuracy, 75-100% comprehension Instructional level: 90-94% word accuracy, 60-75% comprehension Frustration Level: 89% word accuracy, 60% or less comprehension 36 Reading 18

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 Planning Activity With your table group, use the instructional plan to identify a skill to teach. Choose a book that would be appropriate for teaching that skill. Be prepared to share out as a table group telling us why you chose the particular skill and why the book can be used to teach it. 37 Explicit and Systematic Instruction of Guided Reading Reading 19

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 Explicit and Systematic Instruction of Guided Reading Before Reading 1) Plan the instruction 2) Introduce text and strategy or skill 3) Teach the mini-lesson explicitly (teach skill) During Reading 1) Model reading strategies as students read 2) Observe students interacting with text 3) Address previously planned or new teaching points (based on student interaction with text) After Reading 1) Discuss and revisit text 2) Revisit the focus skill 3) Extend the text through writing 4) Record notes on student interaction with text and how they are progressing to their next level of independence 5) Reflect on your teaching 39 Before Reading Planning for Instruction Determine the group of students Identify instructional needs of students Select teaching strategies Choose text(s) you want students to read Gather all necessary materials for the lesson 40 Reading 20

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 Before Reading Introduction Info about author, illustrator Experience with text features or layout Unfamiliar vocabulary Unusual language structures Background knowledge Understanding of genre Mini lesson on reading skill or strategy Expository text Repetitive sentences 41 During Reading All students read independently while the teacher focuses on supporting one student. This is NOT a time for round robin reading! Teacher should listen to each student read and support the student by modeling reading strategies. These strategies can be decoding strategies or comprehension strategies. The teacher documents the areas where each student struggles to use to help plan for the next session. The goal is to ensure that a student can use these strategies successfully and independently. 42 Reading 21

Guided Reading and Running Records 8/18/2015 After Reading Invite the students to make connections to the text Discuss the meaning of the text Ask comprehension questions and allow the students to justify their answers with evidence from the text Revisit new vocabulary Notice the author s use of language Revisit any strategies that had to be modeled for multiple students 43 Extending the Text Have the students do repeated readings of the text independently to build confidence and fluency Extend the text through writing connections, art connections, or drama activity based on the text Have the students complete a graphic organizer Have the students compare or contrast text with another text they have read 44 Reading 22

Building Literacy Foundational Skills 8/18/2015 Activity: Alphabet Arc Directions I do: We are going to place the letters on to the ABC ARC as we say the sound. Teacher picks up letter and says: M /m/ Watch me place the M on the ARC as I say the sound /m/. Teacher places the M on the ARC in the appropriate place. We do: Everyone pick up the letter M. Everyone say /m/. Everyone place the letter M on top of the letter M on your ABC ARC as you say /m/. Students place letter as they say the sound.. You do: Ask 1-2 additional students to place letters on the ARC as they say the sound of the letter.: S /s/ A /a/ Positive Error Correction Always return to I do (modeling) when there is a student error or confusion. I do: If the student says the letter name correctly but said an incorrect sound the teacher would say, You got the letter name right. Watch me as I say the sound of S /s/. We do: Everyone let s say the sound of the letter S /s/. You do: Dan can you tell me the sound for the letter S? /s/ Tips Usually you will not set all 26 letters out, only set a selection from which you will work. Be intentional about letters chosen. Can be used just for letter name/identification without the sound prompt. Who can find the letter S? Can you put it where it belongs on the arc? MDE Office of Elementary Education and Reading 47 Routine: Bumpy Blending Routine I do: Listen to me do bumpy blending one sound at a time. S a d Tap the 1 st dot. /s/ Tap the 2 nd dot. /a/ Tap the 3 rd dot. /d/ Glide hand under word from left to right sad. She is sad We do: Complete together. You do: Have students complete independent of your voice. Students may take turns. All students should be following along even when it is not their turn to speak. Use with I do, We do, You do. Repeat steps with additional words. Positive Error Correction Always return to I do (modeling) when there is a student error or confusion. Errors to watch for: If a student says /s/ /a/ /b/ instead of /s/ /a/ /d/, say, you said two sounds correctly. Watch me bumpy blend the word sad. Go back to I do, we do, you do. Tips When creating, place one dot under each spoken sound in the word. Pause between each sound. Be sure students touch dots as they say them.

Building Literacy Foundational Skills 8/18/2015 Routine: Smooth Blending Routine We are going to smooth blend the word Sam. Watch me. Glide your finger under each letter for about 2 seconds. Say the sounds in a slow, connected way. Sssssaaaaammmmm. Then glide your finger across the bottom of the word from left to right and say the word and use it in a sentence. Sam. Sam is a boy. S a m Positive Error Correction Always return to I do (modeling) when there is a student error or confusion. Errors to watch for: If a student says /s/ /a/ /m/ (bumpy blending) instead of smooth blending, say, you said the sounds correctly. Listen as I glide my finger under each letter and blend the sounds together. Sssssaaaaaammmmm. Go back to I do, we do, you do. Tips Sounds should be connected. Do not draw out stop sounds (/t/, /c/, /d/, etc). Instead, connect them to the nearest vowel. Ex dad Continue using We do, You do. Repeat steps with additional words. It is helpful to draw lines connecting letters for students to trace or follow as they smooth blend, but not necessary. Alternately, students can simply glide their finger from sound to sound, left to right, under the word. MDE Office of Elementary Education and Reading 49 Activity: Word Chain Directions I do: Place selected letter tiles/letter cards in front of students. We are going to make some words with the letters you have in front of you. Everyone put the letters t,o,p in front of you. Students move these letters together to make the word top. These letters spell top. Watch me as I read the word. Glide fingers from left to right under the word as you read it. Top. Now watch me. I am going to take out the letter t and put an m where the t was. I changed the word to mop! Watch as I read the word mop. Mop. We do: Everyone pick up the letter o. Put the letter a where the letter o was. Everyone let s read the word together. Map. Glide fingers from left to right under the word as you read it with students The new word is map. What is the new word? You do: Students change out letters as the teacher directs. Students then read the new words. Teacher monitors student responses. Positive Error Correction Always return to I do (modeling) when there is a student error or confusion. I do: If the student (Dan) gets a sound incorrect (creates or reads map instead of mop ) the teacher would say You got 2 sounds right! The sound of the letter O is /o/. Let s blend the new word again. Mop. We do: Everyone let s say the sound of the letter O /o/. Everyone let s read the wordmop. You do: Dan can you give me the sound of the letter O? Can you read the new word? Tips Usually you will not set all 26 letters out, only set a selection from which you will work. Be intentional about letters chosen. Plan the list of words you will have students make ahead of time. A manipulative like letter tiles, letter cards, plastic letters should be used. Do not have students write the word that changes the purpose of the activity from decoding to encoding. Remember to only change one grapheme at a time. 50 Reading 25
