Looking Back to Move Forward with Guided Reading
Ford, Michael P.; Opitz, Michael F.
Reading Horizons, v50 n4 Article 3 p225-240 Jan-Feb 2011
Guided reading is used in classrooms across the country and, while it is fairly new, it is anything but revolutionary. In this article, and in honor of the 50th volume of "Reading Horizons," the authors take a look back at the 50-year history of this practice, provide a definition of guided reading, analyze what caused the practice to change, and discuss their own perspectives and predict the future of guided reading.
