Rosie The point of guided reading is to provide support to children with text that is just slightly beyond their ability to read independently, yet at a level which will allow them the opportunity to be successuful with guidance as they acquire new skills and strategies to generalize to their independent reading. This often means letting go of grade level expectations, teaching to the needs of students who may be below (or above) those expectations. Lori
