Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities for Grade 12
By Bright Classroom Ideas Marketplace
Guided reading allows teachers to monitor students while they read texts appropriate to their instructional reading levels. It typically includes these standard components:
- Collaborating in small teams
- Aligning student reading skills with text difficulty levels
- Providing each individual in the group with identical text
- Presenting the text
- Hearing people read
- Encouraging students to unify their reading strategies
- Involving students in discussions regarding the text.
The objective is to assist Grade 12 students in creating strategies for independent application. Work emphasizes processes essential for proficient reading, like cross-referencing print with meaning, instead of memorizing the definitions of words from a specific book. In guided reading, educators observe student reading behaviors and ensure that texts are accessible to them, enabling learners to combine their newly learned skills into a cohesive, integrated reading system.
This ebook will assist you in practicing guided reading with your 12th-grade classes. It includes a complete lesson plan with activities and recommended answers that takes about 90 minutes.

The Scarlet Letter Pre-Reading Activities | Puritan Era & Colonial New England
By TaughtOught Homeschooling
These three pre-reading activities are the perfect introduction to the literature unit for The Scarlet Letter by Nathanial Hawthorne. The activities are anticipatory and get students in the mindset of Puritan and Colonial New England life, put in the shoes of the community members of those times, learn some initial vocabulary, and have the opportunity to tie this all together by writing what they think the novel is about based on these pre-reading activities.
What does this product include?
How should I use these activities in the classroom?
You will ultimately determine how these three activities can be used, and they truly can be used in whichever order you see fit. And if you have a class full of students who are completely unfamiliar with the plot of The Scarlet Letter, I suggest completing the slideshow first, the Secret Sinner game second, and the worksheet third (or send it home as homework).
Grab the annotation-supported digital and print copy of the novel here.
