Guided reading programs are structured literacy strategies where teachers work closely with small groups of students to improve their reading abilities. These programs focus on developing comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, and critical thinking skills. Teachers provide personalized guidance based on each student’s reading level, ensuring targeted support and effective learning. This approach encourages active participation and builds confidence in reading. Over time, guided reading helps students develop independent reading habits and a deeper understanding of texts, which is essential for academic success across subjects.
