I never knew that guided reading was set up to make the children feel successful reading at their own level. I always thought that the children felt like they were behind and that is why they were in guided reading. I always thought that if a child was in guided reading and not on the level that the high kids were at that they would know and understand they were not as good at reading.
This chapter said the exact opposite. It said that if guided reading is done right, you can make a child feel like a successful reader. It said that that is the ultimate goal. Shared reading should do the same. It should be joyous and collaborative. It should be at the child's level. Guided reading should never be grouped in permanent groups. The children should move freely through the groups as they progress. It is the hopes of all teachers that a child does not digress.
