Todays Focus
Aspirational Goal 1: All students will read at or
above grade level by 3rd grade and continue to
read at or above grade level thereafter.

Today we will focus on how we can most

effectively get students to read at or above
grade level through guided reading.

What is Next Generation Literacy?
Next generation literacy is about being more discerning about how
we help students. Rather than always rushing in to rescue students
when they struggle, we advocate carefully assessing the situation and
responding in ways that allow students to practice the messy work of
figuring out what to do and when to do it. And whats more, we
advocate for lots of time to practice. When we offer students
opportunities to practice new skills and strategies in read aloud,
shared reading, and guided reading, they are infinitely better
equipped to apply new learning when they reach independent reading.

Reading
What do Burkins and Yaris say about Guided Reading?

8
Wonder follow up books...

9
Find four others with the same
book.
Take turns discussing your favorite sentence
or quote from the chapter.
Read your sentence and share why you
chose it.
If someone else reads your sentence, its
ok...re-read and tell why YOU picked it.
10
Form a group with 5 different books and
then discuss.
How is next generation Guided Reading
different from traditional Guided Reading?

Everyone Shares - go around your circle so

that each person contributes.

Next Generation Guided Reading Model

Now, based on your group discussion, use the

chart paper to draw a model to represent what
Next Generation Reading looks and sounds like.

Be Creative!

Cafe Share Out
Leave a host at the table.
a.The Host shares out the thinking behind
their representation.
b.The other members then share out how
their representations were alike and
different.
13
Wrap Up
What is something you will take away and try
based on what you read? Be prepared to share
out what you tried at the next CFIP (Nov 15).

Your Challenging Guided Group
1.Identify your most challenging guided reading
group. Jot down, on a piece of paper, some
information about the group. Based on the data:
a. Who are they?
b.What are their strengths?
c. What do they struggle with? Be specific.
Be able to describe these students to another teacher
who is NOT in your grade level.

Take turns sharing out information about your

It would be optimal if you paired a intermediate with
a primary person.
