Guided Group Reading

Guided group reading is an effective instructional approach that enables a teacher to:

• focus on the needs of a small group of pupils that have similar skills and similar skills gaps;

• engage with a small group of pupils who might not have the confidence to input at a whole class level;

• assess and track progress and move pupils from group to group so that the process is fluid and not fixed; and

• select follow up activities that further develop reading comprehension and pupil independence beyond the session with the teacher.
