Guided Reading

     For this reading I had to find my own article on Guided Reading.  I found article called "Guided Reading Procedure" that was written by Anthony V. Manzo, and the article came out of The Journal of Reading.  It is interesting and I think that it gives a good example of how a teacher should conduct a guided reading lesson.  
     Step 1:  Have the students read a passage and ask them to try and remember everything they can from the passage.
     Step 2:  Once the students are done reading, the teacher asks them to recall everything they can from what they just read as the teacher writes down the responses on the board.
     Step 3:  Students are then allowed to go back and reread the passage to correct and add onto the information recorded on the board.
     Step 4:  Create some kind of outline or concept map in order to organize the remembrances.
     Step 5:  The teacher raises questions that are important for complete understanding, and the questions should require the combination of new information and information that the students have already learned.
     Step 6:  The teacher should give the students a diagnostic test to check their short-term memory.  The test should reflect things discussed in class and the information covered in class.
     Step 7:  An optional step that has two sub-steps where the students engage in post-reading activities or more discussion, and then their medium and/or long term memory is checked and scored.

Would you use this kind of lesson in your classroom?
How would you determine an appropriate passage to read?
