The article I chose for my guided reading article was "Guided Reading: A Research-Based Response to the Challenges of early Reading Instruction" by Anita Iaquinta. Thought the title of the article sounds like it would be kind of technical in explaining what guided reading is, however it does a great job at spelling out what the purpose of guided reading is, how to implement it in the classroom and the what the teacher's role.
What I liked about this article is it gives tips on how a teacher can run a guided reading effectively; it gives many, many prompts that can be used by teachers as students read aloud in small groups. in hopes that they guidance by the teacher will give the students the ability to use the strategies on their own.
Side Note: Because there is almost 2 whole pages of these tips/prompts to help teachers in a guided reading lesson, I would recommend checking out this article :) You can find it in the UT Database by searching for the title (just cut/paste it from here to make it easy) Use this link - http://www.lib.utk.edu.proxy.lib.utk.edu:90/ - and click on the Articles tab (rather then Books Plus) and it should pop right up! You can also try this link - http://portico.lib.utk.edu.proxy.lib.utk.edu:90/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do?vid=UTK&vl%282509551UI1%29=all_items&fn=search&vl%282509121UI0%29=any&ct=search&indx=1&dum=true&vl%28freeText0%29=Guided+Reading%3A+A+Research-Based+Response+to+the+Challenges+of+early+Reading+Instruction&srt=rank&vl%281UI0%29=contains&frbg=&tab=remote_tab&mode=Basic&scp.scps=000000117 - it might take you right to it in the database : )
Thanks for posting this link. I like the idea of having an available resource when conducting a guided reading lesson. It makes me feel more comfortable to know there are some techniques being used effectively. I will add the article link I used to my blog as it also contained some helpful ideas for grouping students.
