Consider the steps needed to conduct a guided reading lesson. Choose one step and discuss how you would adapt it for teaching English Language Learners (ELLs)

What will be an ideal response?


Guided reading is well-suited to working with ELLs. It involves selecting an appropriate text, one that is not too easy but a bit challenging, deciding on a goal, and giving any assistance students need to read the selection successfully. The five steps in conducting a guided reading lesson include:
1 Introducing the text
2 Reading the text
3 Discussing the text
4 Rereading or revisiting the text
5 Extending the text

Student answers will vary based on which step is chosen and how they would adapt it for use with ELLs. Overall, ELLs may need more help specifically with syntactical structures, figures of speech, homophones, homographs, common colloquialisms familiar to native English speakers, and words or phrases that don?t translate literally.
