Activity
1 ~~ Four Levels of Support (45 minutes)
Objective: Reflect on Guided Reading
as a teaching technique.
Context: In their book, Guided Reading, Irene Fountas and Gay Su
Pinnell demonstrate the relationship between teacher support and child
control in reading.
Activity: Begin by viewing the PowerPoint presentation entitled
"Developing
Comprehension is Important in the Primary Grades."
Then review the Fountas/Pinnell
model depicting the 4 Levels of Support.
As you study the model, reflect on your
current use of the techniques outlined-and think about the degree to which
you currently use these levels of support.
Now view the video
segment.
Context: The video begins with a discussion of guided reading and
the importance of building children's background knowledge prior to reading.
The video continues with another take on Fountas and Pinnell's levels
of support-reading to, with, and by children. It concludes with a brief
review and a discussion of flexible grouping.
When you're finished, please proceed to Activity
