Reading Assignment #10

For this reflection I read Dorn Ch. 4: Guided Reading.

      This chapter was all about the guided reading groups. One strong point made in this chapter was that these reading groups need to be flexible; if a child is left in the same group all year, nothing will be accomplished.  Another point made through out this chapter was the necessity to make sure the students have CAP and other basics of reading before placed into guided reading groups.  The one thing I want to take away from this lesson is that guided reading groups are possible for the regular teacher to do.  I also want to remember that even though a child reads on one level now, that does not mean he will need to be in the same group 4 weeks from now.
