I found myself going back to the slides and viewing the notes, a lot. It took me awhile to figure exactly what the reading guides were. She’s kind of everywhere with what she is talking about, and sometimes, doesn’t finish a thought.

Sorry but no I was expecting more ideas on how to do guided reading with my students.
Terri – PFLUGERVILLE ISD (verified owner) –
I liked that I could take this course in the comfort of my home. This particular course, “Guided Reading” helped me in how to stretch my students thinking with the type of questions that were giving, and how to dissect the information given and what they already knew. Also, reminding not yo give the vocabulary to the students but instead have them to determine the meaning based on the context.
