Guided Comprehension: A Teaching Model for Grades 3-8

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Resource
Review: Guided Reading/comprehension is a fantastic method of teaching reading. I wish I had found it 39 years ago. This book has a multitude of strategies that can be used at any grade level. Not being entirely comfortable with the method, I have been reading various books to help my students. This book has exactly for what I was looking. It has examples of strategies, templates you can use, explanations for different strategies, tips on how to help your students.The companion book is excellent as well. If you can only get one book, start with this one. This adds to Fountas and Pinnell as well as Mosaic of Thought.

Summary: One of my Best Teacher Resources
Review: I have taught over 22 years - am always buying new materials - but this has become one of my favorites ! Puts all the reading comprehension strategies together and teaches you the latest methods to improve comprehension. Their other book, Guided Comprehension in Action: Lessons for Grades 3-8, is a great companion book. I have taught workshops using strategies from these books and the other teachers and students love the ideas ! I finally know exactly how to have kids improve comprehension and is great for whole class and small groups. Good for learning styles too ! Heartily endorse !
