Title: Not a fan of guided reading
Review: My work is primarily with children who struggle in learning to read (and adults). The preponderance of evidence shows that guided reading is not the intervention/reading instruction that is most beneficial in helping them to catch up to their peers. I do use some leveled readers, but mostly prefer texts that allow these students to analyze individual word sounds/phonemes, instead of memorize words as wholes, rely on context cues/picture cues/repetitive patterns.
Is the review positive or negative?
