Chp 11 Shared and Guided Reading

This chapter is (to me) breaking down the book being read. Each part of the book is discussed and even the words that make up the story are under close observation. Things to watch for are high frequency words, rhyming words, and pronunciation to name a few. Look to make gentle corrections and be aware of reading abilities. Steps that were mentioned when reading a book would be first to introduce the book by reading and covering each part of the book. Second reread the story. Third go over in small groups and allow groups to act out or personal way for them to communicate or share their book. Allowing the child to reread the book allows the child to build fluency and to writing too is very important. Give the child a chance to write the story from another characters view can change everything. Let them use their imagination and they just may get hooked.
