We use a balanced literacy approach, which includes:

Shared Reading
Guided Reading
Independent Reading
Read Alouds
Shared Reading
Guided Reading
Independent Reading
Guided Reading:
Teaching approach designed to help individual readers systematically learn to read challenging texts over time
Teacher instructs groups of children using texts at their instructional level
The teacher uses the text to help the children expand what they know how to do as readers: access meaning, language, and print of the text.
Independent Reading:
After the whole group & guided group sessions, students practice strategies in books at their independent level.
Students should read each day at their independent reading level both at school and home.
Fountas & Pinnell levels can help identify “just right” books for students.
