• How is a lesson plan like a “recipe”?
• Notice the type of language used (third person, step-by-
step, procedural directions).

11. Overview of Guided Reading
Teaching active reading
• Guided reading: small group. Can focus on: decoding,
fluency, vocabulary, comprehension.
12. Big Ideas about Strategic Reading
• Explicit instruction
• Comprehending vs. comprehension (active process vs.
assessing)
• Need to help students activate their schema or
background knowledge.
• DISCUSS
• What are ways to help students activate their background
knowledge??
13. Big Ideas about Strategic Reading
• Explicit instruction
• Comprehending vs comprehension (active process vs.
assessing)
• Need to help students activate their schema.
14. • Use an anchor chart for your teaching focus. Explicitly
teach the what, why, when, and how of your teaching
focus. Students should know what it is they are learning
and why it is important. This is the case for all of your
teaching all day long, in fact.
15. Matching text with the reader
• Be prepared for each group with a text matched at the
students’ reading level.
• Leveling charts
16. Guided Reading Lesson Plan Format
• Pull up lesson plan format tempate to review
• Planning sheet to get started
• Selecting a book
• Should be 2nd-6th grade
• Comprehension focus, not decoding
• Can be fiction or non-fiction
• Can use a chapter from a chapter book
• Lesson is small-group (20-30 minutes)
17. Planning Sheet- GRLP
• Teaching focus (comprehension that aligns with Figure
19)
• Pick one: main idea/get the gist, connecting (pick one: T-
S, T-T, T-W), drawing conclusions (making inferences),
self-monitoring, predicting/confirming (can do a t-chart),
questioning /wondering (good for non-fiction); Find this in
Figure 19

19. Introduction
Introduction (2 + paragraphs written out
as a script)
genre:
Text structure/features to point out
tricky concepts
a personal connection you have
your own (teacher) background
knowledge
a brief overview of the story without
giving it away
setting a purpose for reading (“Let’s read
to find out…”). Have about 8-10
“stopping points”. Students read silently.
20. Modeling and guided practice (the heart of
the lesson)
Modeling/”I do”: How will you,
the teacher, model the teaching
focus (e.g., anchor chart,
explicit instruction, thinking
aloud)
Guided Practice/ “We do”: How
will you, the teacher, model the
teaching focus (e.g., main idea,
etc.) and then turn over
practice of the teaching focus
to the students?
21. Anchor Chart:Avisual
This “looks like” a small poster you create
These are on Pinterest, etc. but please make your own anchor
chart for this course!
• You will be creating a comprehension anchor chart
• -main idea (get the gist)
• Connecting (T-T, T-S, T-W)-pick one only
• Drawing conclusion/inferencing
• Self-monitoring
• Visualizing
• Other strategies from Figure 19
22. • Use an anchor chart for your teaching focus. Explicitly
teach the what, why, when, and how of your teaching
focus. Students should know what it is they are learning
and why it is important. This is the case for all of your
teaching all day long, in fact.
23. Matching text with the reader
• Be prepared for each group with a text matched at the
students’ reading level.
