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.
