Guided reading is a way to help your homeschoolers develop reading proficiency in a group setting. It’s done in a small group setting with kids that are basically on the same reading level and it provides focus on their specific reading needs.
A guided reading lesson should average about 15-20 minutes. Any longer and you’ll lose the attention of your students. And, the text is always read out loud.
– Help with multisyllable words when necessary. – Help with proper pronunciation. – Build on vocabulary. – Build comprehension skills by questioning and discussing the text, either as you go or at the end.
