Linda Hoyt, an acclaimed expert in the field of reading, and other exceptional classroom teachers demonstrate a variety of teaching strategies that focus students' attention on key concepts, important details, and underlying themes in their reading. Some of the strategies can be used by students in their independent reading; some are designed to help teachers enrich students' encounters with guided reading text. All the strategies deepen children's understanding of what they are reading, helping them build important reading comprehension skills.

This training program is not an overview of the complete guided reading process. Instead, it demonstrates powerful instructional strategies that are ideally suited to guided reading in grades 3-6.

  • I Wonder propels children's reflection and discussion out of lower-level recall and into higher levels of thought.
  • Good Reader Strategies help students fully utilize what they know about word structure and context as they problem solve difficult words in their reading.
  • Making It Real underscores the value of including objects, models, and pictures when introducing new concepts and vocabulary to a guided reading group.
