This book was lent to me by a classroom teacher who's a friend of mine. He called it a "life saver." A few of the chapters didn't apply to me at all because they were about classroom management and assessment, but the other chapters were really excellent. I learned what to expect from my kids at different levels, and what to practice with them. I thought it was a great balance for the phonics approach that so many home-schoolers use. The authors show how to move from reading to a child, to reading with a child, to guiding the child as she reads, and then supporting a child's independent reading. The authors have a similar approach for teaching writing. There are two huge book lists, one organized by title and one by reading level--very helpful!

Great classroom resource. Photocopy the worksheets to organize your groups with ease. Activities of what students not in teacher led groups could be doning with photocopy cards you can use in a chart to organize.
This book was highly recommended to me, I borrowed a copy, then decided I needed my own.

Great book to help teachers organize their classroom for guided reading groups. Has wonderful ideas to impliment learning centers and management of those centers while teaching guided reading groups. Our school has a copy of this book for each teacher to model their classroom after.
