Guided reading does not have it's own separate curriculum, but rather is an opportunity for you to work with different groups of kids on any number of strategies or skills that you've found they are having difficulty with. In addition, if you have students that AREN'T having any difficulty, guided reading groups are a great opportunity to challenge those students with new skills that are more complex and difficult. So if you have a group of kids who don't get visualizing you can revisit that in a guided reading group, but you can also re-teach and practice other things like predicting or fluency or decoding strategies. Guided reading should teach whatever it is kids need to learn and practice more. Kristin NJ

One thing I am still confused about is guided reading. If we're working on visualizing this week, do I observe which kids aren't visualizing well and work with them that week? Or do you have a separate guided reading curriculum, whatever that means?
