Dr. Mary Howard, Guided Reading
Maximizing Small Group Instruction
Guided reading is a powerful small group instructional context that allows us to target specific learning needs as we build strategic knowledge and promote independent problem-solving. These flexible groups offer students individualized support through carefully selected texts that support their movement up the ladder of text complexity. Each group accommodates the unique learning needs of those students involved. Learn how to maximize small group instruction as you organize, orchestrate and implement guided reading across the curriculum in more efficient and effective ways. Dr. Mary Howard will describe the components of an effective guided reading lesson with key recommendations to reinforce and extend learning across the curriculum. Develop a clear understanding of the central features of small group learning as you create a flexible instructional design to accommodate specific learning needs with robust instruction that will accelerate progress.

- Participants will learn how to maximize small group instruction.
