Guided+Reading

**Guided Reading and Basal Reading Instruction:**
Second grade students work in guided reading groups. Guided reading groups provide small group instruction for students. Students are placed in flexible groups according to their Basic Reading Inventory and their MAP tests results. A variety of reading strategies are used during this time.

Second grade students also receive Scholastic basal reading instruction time. During this time students work in a large group setting for shared reading/ literature and specific skills instruction. Students then may break into smaller groups according to their individual skill needs.

Students will also receive independent reading time to continue to practice reading strategies learned through guided reading and basal reading. See our parent involvement page on ways you can help your child with their independent reading.
