Saunders-Smith (literacy, Youngstown State U.) provides a resource for teachers to help them use guided reading to work with children in small groups and target instruction to their needs and strengths when teaching them how to read. After outlining the reading process and how learning occurs, she details using teacher talk, grouping schemes, choosing texts, and each step of instruction, with updated strategies in this edition that include a new step that introduces the book. This edition also emphasizes the constructivist nature of learning and the increasing need to differentiate by accommodating expectations, materials, and instructional practices. Also added is more information on note-taking and study skills. Figures and tables have been updated and added, and new text examples replace those in the previous edition. No index is provided.
