Dear Guided Reading Teacher,
As a researcher and classroom educator, I understand the challenges
of teaching reading to students who are very different in their
reading behaviors and the level of text that they can process with
fluency, ease, and comprehension. The Guided Reading Programs
represented on this site are developed to teach the widest range
of reading abilities.
Each program in the series contains the best children's books and
comprehensive instructional plans. The books are carefully leveled
to meet the rigorous standards of Guided Reading. Each level supports
small group instruction for students who are alike in their abilities.
I am pleased to announce that our Guided Reading series continues
to expand and now includes two new programs. Guided Reading Content
Areas provides you with a means of teaching reading while reinforcing
essential science, social studies, and mathematics standards! Many
K–3 classrooms struggle to find enough instructional time to teach
reading, language, and literacy skills as well as develop students'
content area knowledge. This new program answers your needs to address
both issues.
The second program is Guided Reading en español.
This program is a series of leveled beloved and new children's books
in Spanish. Each book is accompanied by a bilingual instructional
plan as well as ESL strategies. The program helps ensure equity
of instruction for all levels of English-language proficiency in
your native Spanish-speaking students.
Like all Guided Reading programs, these give you the instructional
system needed to make certain that your students become independent,
strategic readers. Best of all, the series of Guided Reading programs
help instill a love of reading and thinking and talking about books!
As always, I look forward to learning of your and your students'
successes!
Your Colleague,

Dr. Gay Su Pinnell
