Going Google for Guided Reading
"The ability to link various documents within Google Apps makes it ideal for a digital Guided Reading program. Bringing Guided Reading into the Google realm has made it simple for me to consolidate my plans, texts, student work, and assessment into one location. It all begins with the Guided Reading Launch Page, a hub which, through linking, allows quick and easy access to:
- a weekly schedule
- anecdotal assessment documents
- an assessment form
- digital texts
- guided group folders (within which I store tasks, student work, and texts)"
