Anatomy of Steps to Literacy’s Book Bins
Guided Reading is crucial for both teachers and students practicing Balanced Literacy. Small group, teacher-led guided reading sessions are where students practice their newly acquired reading strategies under the watchful eye of their teacher. Spanish Guided Reading Libraries

Students are grouped by similar reading levels and they take turns reading aloud from their own copy of instructional based texts that were created precisely for guided reading. Guided Reading differs from other processes of Balanced Literacy in the sense that rather than having skills and strategies taught explicitly to them, students are actually deciding what skills and strategies they need to apply in order to decode and comprehend the text.

Our Spanish Balanced Literacy Guided Reading Collections were built with a focus on average reader level within each grade and the typical progress children make in advancing their reading level over the course of a year. Most of our readers will fall somewhere in the middle of the level ranges appropriate for their grade…otherwise known as “on-level”. To address the typical level ranges per grade we’ve focused the largest ratio of titles to be “on-level”. Additional titles (though fewer in number) have been added on a bell curve for each grade to offer below and above level support for readers.
