Using Shared/Guided Reading to Boost Student Literacy 📖

This video demonstrate the Shared/Guided Reading method. Guiding reading can be an important strategy to use for emergent readers because:

• Shared reading allows students to observe the reading process, practice reading strategies or concepts, and build decoding, vocabulary, and word recognition skills in a safe, guided setting

• Teachers model reading with intonation and expression while students follow and join in the process

• It can strengthen students’ comprehension skills while modeling questions and think-alouds

• Guided Reading is flexible and can be used in whole class settings, or in small groups

This video is part of a nine-part series of teacher training videos designed to support the World Vision International's Unlock Literacy teacher training programming. They aim to “bring to life” elements of teacher instruction to support master trainers and the teachers they train to better see and understand the skill or strategy in a classroom setting.

The videos have been developed to support literacy - specific classroom management techniques and direct instruction. The content of the videos was developed by a World Vision Education Specialist, with filming and creative enhancement by Matter Studio on location in Malawi
