Reviews / Votes
"Guided reading is not really about levels, benchmark texts, or offering the right prompts to students when they struggle with words. Rather, guided reading is, for us, about supporting children as they develop strategic approaches to meaning making."Jan Miller Burkins and Melody M. Croft
"Going back to reread sections of a book to deepen one's understanding is a hallmark of a great professional read. Other hallmarks include things like questioning and reflecting and responding to the words written on the page like you're having an engaging conversation with the authors. As you read this book, you will find yourself doing all these things."
Kim Yaris, coauthor of Who's Doing the Work
