Learning how to read doesn't end at third grade, fifth grade, or even eighth grade. Guided reading strategies have traditionally been used with younger readers, but for the first time author Bonnie Burns shows teachers how to use these successful strategies for students of all ages. Guided Reading: A How-to for All Grades focuses each chapter on a different grade level ranging from kindergarten to twelfth grade, and includes think-aloud strategies, visualization, and reciprocal reading.
