Guided Reading: Cohort 1
Effective guided reading lessons begin with knowing the readers. This five day training will provide K-3 teachers with a comprehensive understanding of how to implement guided reading within the core reading program. Guided reading is a student-centered approach to reading instruction that meets students' individual reading needs while scaffolding them towards grade-level standards. Throughout this five day professional learning experience, participants will engage in hands-on learning, observe actual guided reading lessons taught by the presenter, have opportunities to apply their learning between sessions, and receive the Fountas and Pinnell Prompting Guide 1 & 2. In order to transfer professional learning into practice, participants will be expected to work with at least one group of students, take weekly running records with each child in the group and analyze their experiences. Presenter is Dr. Janet Bufalino, Reading Recovery trainer and Chair of the Reading Department at Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania.
