This teachers‘ guide introduces you to guided reading. Guided reading is a common differentiated teaching approach used in the young learners’ classroom to develop learners’ reading skills. It aims at helping all learners become confident and effective readers, starting at the level they are at. Guided reading is used to close the gap between shared reading and independent reading. It aims to help learners develop and apply new reading strategies individually. This booklet will give you ideas on how to plan guided reading lessons and provides some practical tips for your reading lessons.
