Fountas and Pinnell (2012) warn that guided reading is not always synonymous with small-group instruction. While it may appear simple, much thought goes into a guided reading lesson. This chapter details the steps for teachers to follow in order to develop more effective guided reading and small group instruction for all students by identifying specific goals in the areas of accuracy, fluency, and comprehension at each instructional reading level. Through the chapter, teachers will be exposed to valuable resources that will aid in creating effective guided reading lessons for all students.
