In order to have success teaching at the guided reading table, two things need to be in place. Teach Routines, Independence and Build Stamina I would recommend this book for teachers interested in reading and guided reading groups.TWO. I finished reading the book, but alas, we weren’t able to incorporate guided reading this year. I was required to read it for one of my classes, but I never quite finished it then… oops! Now, as a first-year teacher, I wanted my students to excel at reading. (Book 97 of 100) When I was going through college, one of the major buzz words was “Jan Richardson.” This book was talked about in EVERY class I had related to reading. If you are a teacher looking for a way to improve your guided reading experience, this book might be for you.
This book is full of lesson templates, word lists, reading question cards, and more. Each chapter is a lesson showing how to help different levels of readers. When it comes to struggling readers, look no further than this essential resource. “The Next Step Forward in Guided Reading,” by Jan Richardson. I'm excited to implement this new researched based strategy as I believe it will really help the students at my school grow and succeed. The last chapter of the book contains comprehension strategies that can be used in the lesson portion of the guided reading time. There's also the code to access the website containing videos so you can see some of these practices done in real time with real students. There is an appendix in the back that contains copies of lesson plan formats and assessment guides to use. Since the principles build on each other, I found a lot of repeated text, but clearly that text I still felt was relevant because I gave the book 5/5 stars). In the middle of reading this book I got a call from my principal saying I was moving to first grade, so I also read the Early Reader chapter once I found that out.
Some of the information overlaps from chapter to chapter, but aside from slightly tedious it didn't bother me (ex when I first purchased this book I was planning on teaching Kindergarten, and was going to focus on the Pre A and Emergent Reader chapter.
There's a brief introduction at the beginning explaining what guided reading is and why it's so important, but the bulk of the book dives into the details of the different lesson components and materials that make up the lesson based on the student's reading level. This book is a FANTASTIC resource for any elementary ELA teacher. If I remember I may update this review in the fall/ winter after I've had a chance to try/ test it out.) (Note: Book review was written after reading the book, not after implementing what was read.
