Guided Reading.

Guided reading is a method often used in elementary school classrooms to help students become more proficient readers through supported practice. Guided reading is usually done in small groups of three to six students, with reading materials selected to match the skill level of a particular group. In a guided reading session, which typically lasts about twenty minutes, the teacher introduces one or more strategies to be practiced during the session, monitors the students as they read, provides individualized guidance and assistance to each student as appropriate, and questions the students or leads a discussion of the text after the students have finished reading it.
