In an era of change in education, the time is right to refocus attention
on guided reading practices. Guided reading remains an anchor in
classroom literacy programs, but how has it changed with the new shifts
in education? In this book, Dr. Michael P. Ford provides a practical
resource for guided reading. He explains how it evolved, why it's still
important, how to fit it into a comprehensive literacy program, how to
select texts, how to assess and support students, and how to position it
for intervention. Also included is an Appendix with a listing of
recommended guided reading books.
