Before enrolling in this English course I had never learnt about guided reading. The workshop on guided reading helped me immensely as the next week I had to take a guided reading group in a school. Without this workshop I would have been lost. The four roles of a reader helped with identifying which student had a stronger quality of each. By identifying which quality each child holds we can then work on the weaker qualities which helps improve the way a child reads and understand the book. This workshop helped me know to not only get each child to read each sections whilst guided reading but I now know to analyse the front page, pictures and identify problems students may have before even opening the book.
ReplyDeleteBefore this English tutorial I was unaware of what guided reading was and how it should be taught. From this weeks readings and the lesson it gave me a better understanding of how it should be done when looking at the four roles of a teacher. As Teigan has written above the workshop gave me a bigger insight into it's not only about reading the book, but we can initiate student thinking and learning through questioning the studnets from front page analysis and, looking at key words throughout the book.
