    "The ultimate goal of guided reading is to help children
learn how to use independent reading strategies successfully."
                    -Fountas and Pinnell

                 Share out.
Setting the Stage
for Thinking Deeply & Critically
“…a young string musician playing
“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” with excellent
  posture, bowing, dynamics and so forth
with eventually surpass a student of music
 who is focusing on stretching to meet the
 short-term demands of getting through a
 challenging piece. The student working on
process and simple music develops a feel for
   the whole, integrated effort, and this
    process becomes automated.” (PMR, p.33)
“It is not uncommon for
     students reading
   successfully within
  “just difficult-enough
 texts”(Clay 1993 p. 53)
     to make leaps of
 multiple levels between
        benchmark
       assessments.”
   -Preventing Misguided Reading p. 39
Strategy #2 Describe Guided Reading as a
      Session Rather than a Lesson
• Teacher support enables students to
  problem-solve, connect and discover
• Session is conversational in format
• Students read a lot
Thinking Deeply About Story:
      Even for Our Emerging Readers
 “Our exercises in comprehension tend to be limited (e.g.,
 who are the characters in the story?), which may actually
develop readers who attend to story superficially.”…”So, our
challenge becomes teaching beginning readers to decode
while teaching them comprehend rather than inadvertently
  teaching them to decode instead of teaching them to
   comprehend” (Preventing Misguided Reading, p. 72).
Strategy #15 Engage All Students,
Regardless of Instructional Reading
Level, in Thinking Deeply About Story
 •Beyond a series of questions
 •Beyond “Today I want you to make
 a prediction.”
 •Beyond story retelling
 •Beyond details of the reading
 process but active in all of it
 •Meaning at the text level
The Language of Teaching
    Comprehension Instruction Deeply
Little Questions          Big Questions
  What houses did          How are the pigs’
  each pig build?          houses different?
                          Why did the writer
                          have the third pig
                         build the brick house
                        instead of the second
                                  pig?
What did the wolf say   Why did the wolf say
before he blew down      the same thing at
    the houses?            each house?
What happens at the       What did the pigs
 beginning, middle         learn from their
and end of the story?        experience?
A Conversational Stance
“Conversations about inferences students
must make to understand the text deeply
   push students to approach the work
 actively, giving them a purpose for their
    reading that prompts integration of
 information. This active stance supports
  students as they think about the text in
sophisticated ways and begin practicing
     the thinking work we want them to
 habituate and carry into the rest of their
             lives”.
                 (Preventing Misguided Reading, p.76)
A Where is Your Level of Thinking?
Lower vs. Higher Level Thinking
Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy
Critical Thinking Rubric
The Magic Word




followed by our opinion, it tells others the
…

      rationale for our thinking.
Thank You!

The student working on process and simple music develops a feel for the whole, integrated effort, and this process becomes automated.” (PMR, p.33)
  • 9. “It is not uncommon for students reading successfully within “just difficult-enough texts”(Clay 1993 p. 53) to make leaps of multiple levels between benchmark assessments.” -Preventing Misguided Reading p. 39
  • 10. Strategy #2 Describe Guided Reading as a Session Rather than a Lesson • Teacher support enables students to problem-solve, connect and discover • Session is conversational in format • Students read a lot
  • 11. Thinking Deeply About Story: Even for Our Emerging Readers “Our exercises in comprehension tend to be limited (e.g., who are the characters in the story?), which may actually develop readers who attend to story superficially.”…”So, our challenge becomes teaching beginning readers to decode while teaching them comprehend rather than inadvertently teaching them to decode instead of teaching them to comprehend” (Preventing Misguided Reading, p. 72).
  • 12. Strategy #15 Engage All Students, Regardless of Instructional Reading Level, in Thinking Deeply About Story •Beyond a series of questions •Beyond “Today I want you to make a prediction.” •Beyond story retelling •Beyond details of the reading process but active in all of it •Meaning at the text level

  • 14. A Conversational Stance “Conversations about inferences students must make to understand the text deeply push students to approach the work actively, giving them a purpose for their reading that prompts integration of information. This active stance supports students as they think about the text in sophisticated ways and begin practicing the thinking work we want them to habituate and carry into the rest of their lives”. (Preventing Misguided Reading, p.76)
