Guided reading - Guided Reading; Guided Reading Reminder Slips - Strategy and Skill Helpers
Use these guided reading help slips at the end of your guided reading session. Simply tear off the slip and place in the student's reader to take home or to use in class.
Back to Clever Classroom's home page.
You will need to provide clear and explicit explanation of each skills/strategy on the slip. The text provided on the slip is a jumping off point for you to model the strategy/skill further before it is sent home.
UPDATES:
*** This file has now been updated (still at the same price) to include five different strategies to one page as a second printing alternative. The strategies/skills are provided in color and black and white.
*** A second update to the file, includes the reference of 'full-stop' as a separate printable page for our friends who refer to end punctuation as a 'full-stop'.
*** The final update: one of the strategies/skills reads "Practise recounting the story after you have read it." The word 'practise' has an 's' rather than a 'c' as it is a verb for our British-English users and 'practice' with a 'c' for our US-English users.
There are five of the one skill/strategies to one page. The images seen in the file do not match the strategy, I searched high and low for clip art to suit but the skills are way too specific. Please download the preview file to see if the file suits your students.
These slips will help children make goals by having a concrete notion of what they need to focus on.
Parents will love receiving these slips in their child's reader, so they can also focus on the same skills or strategy.
Print either the color or black and white version of the slips, cut and staple a bunch together. You read more over at our blog post, here.
The file includes 40 skills/strategies for a range of reading levels.
