Outstanding resource!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
My district is implementing guided reading this school year. This book has been invaluable to me. It has helped me understand how to manage my classroom, so that my students will gain the most advantages from such a program. I am looking forward to returning this fall with this program in place. It is an extra bonus that the author is a teacher and has been in the same position.
Guided Reading will work for you!

This is a great book for any teacher using the four blocks literacy model in thier classroom. It is very readable, and not full of jargon. Examples of how to implement guided reading in your classroom are given throughout the book, and there are organization and management ideas offered as well.The book also contains photocopy pages which will be very helpful to you.
Super Resource

This book is a wonderful resource for a classroom teacher using guided reading. It is similar to Guided Reading: Good First Teaching... but more reader friendly, not full of research etc. I would recommend this book for K-3 teachers. It compliments Guided Reading, An Observation Survey and On Solid Ground.

I use guided reading in my classroom and am looping first to second grade this year. I found this book to be very helpful and explanitory. I will use the book lists as well as their categories (emergent, progressing,transitional and fluent) to classify readers and make my guided reading groups. This book is teacher friendly and gives schedules of their days as well as concrete information that can readily be adapted and used. This book choice will be helpful for the teacher beginning to use guided reading, as well as the teacher who has already gotten their feet wet. I felt this an excellent choice to help with all guided reading areas.
