Guided reading is a teaching approach where the teacher supports students in reading texts that are slightly above their independent reading level. Today, we will read a short story together. As we read, I will ask questions to help you think about what the story means. We will also discuss the characters, setting, and events in the story.
Let's read the story 'The Hungry Caterpillar' together. As we read, I will pause and ask you questions like, 'What did the caterpillar eat on Monday?' and 'How did the caterpillar feel after eating so much?' This helps us understand the story better. After reading, we will talk about the main ideas and what we liked about the story.
Now that we have read the story, let's discuss it as a class. I will ask you to share your thoughts. For example, 'What was your favorite part of the story?' and 'Can you tell me about the caterpillar's journey?' Remember to listen to your classmates and respond to their ideas. This will help us learn from each other.
For your independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about the story we read. Make sure to use capital letters at the beginning of each sentence and a full stop at the end. You can write about what the caterpillar ate or how it changed. After you finish writing, read your sentences to a partner and check if they understand your ideas.
