What is Guided Reading?
“What
is Guided Reading?” is an article by the New Zealand Department of Education
about guided reading and its importance for new readers. According to the
article, the importance of guided reading is to help readers develop their skills,
give readers a supportive environment for their development, readers can
develop reading strategies, students can have positive experiences with
reading, and teachers can observe students’ skills (1). After reading this
section, I observed the importance of guided reading in an educational setting.
I would like to use guided reading practices in my classroom to help students
with their reading. I want my students to enjoy reading and have practice with
reading in a supportive environment. This article showed me that guided reading
can help me with my classroom desire. Also, guided reading practices in the classroom
would help me assess students’ knowledge and skill base with reading and
reading comprehension.

I agree that guided reading groups are very important to the learning process. They allow teachers to have discussions about readings with their students in a different setting than usual. They also let teachers be more aware of where their students are and how to better help them in the future.
