Organizing, Managing, and Implementing a Balanced Literacy Program in K-3

by Lori Jamison Rog

(K-3)
The keys to the author`s guided reading model are: working with small, flexible groups with similar instructional needs; using carefully chosen, balanced texts; and providing support through scaffolding to develop the habits of independent, lifelong readers. The heart of the book looks at the guided reading lesson itself at different levels: emergent, early, developmental, and fluent readers. The final section discusses instruction strategies, with chapters on phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, retelling and responding, and nonfiction.
