Concept of Guided Reading Strategy
2. She chooses a book for the group to read that supports the intended teaching
point of the lesson. The goal is to provide a delicate balance of instruction at the beginning of the guided reading session
– just enough to clarify any potential misconceptions, while leaving enough words and concepts for the students to
solve on their own.

On the other statement, the steps of guided reading strategy are : 1.
The teacher selects an unfamiliar text to support the teaching of a specific focus.
2. The teacher orients the students to the text to prepare them for independent
reading of the text. 3.
The teacher makes the purpose for reading explicit to the students. 4.
The students read the text independently as the teacher helps them to use the reading strategies they know.
5. The teacher supports the students to discuss and respond critically to the text
through focussed questions and prompts.

Based on theories above it can be constructed: 1.
The teacher chooses a small group of students with similar reading strengths and needs who are reading approximately the same level text.
