Guided Oral Reading
What is it and what does the research say?
"Guided oral reading is an instructional strategy that can help students improve a variety of reading skills, including fluency. (Reading Rocket Inc., 2014).
This strategy differs from paired reading or choral reading in that the guide (teacher, parent, or guardian) first models the reading of a passage, than all students, usually in a small group, read silently to themselves. Then, one by one, students read the passage aloud. "he guided repeated oral reading technique promotes oral reading fluency while providing a reliable data-based monitoring system. This article emphasizes the importance of problem-solving when using this reading approach" (Greg Conderman, Strobel, 2012) |
Examples of guided oral reading
Guided oral reading is simply a teacher or parent/guardian read reading sessions. The main difference is that the students read silently to themselves, then take turns reading different passages aloud. By reading aloud in the presence of the teacher/parent/guardian, they can pick up on difficulties the student is having. By being closer to a 1:1 ratio, better fitting instruction can be provided by the teacher.
Videos of Guided Oral Reading
The first video first discusses the lower reading fluency in the U.S. Starting at 0:30 the video begins to instruct about how guided oral reading can be successful. It will continue on about how difficult it is for the teacher to give individual instruction, and that computer assisted reading can help. Please see Computer assisted reading section about more.
