Literacy Program The Clermont School
“ Reading, math and science are the foundations of student achievement.  But to compete and win in the global economy, today’s students and tomorrow’s leaders need another set of knowledge and skills. These 21st century skills include the development of  global awareness  and the  ability to collaborate  and communicate  and  analyze  and  address problems . And they need to rely on  critical thinking  and  problem solving  to create   innovative solutions to the issues facing our world. Every child   should have the opportunity to acquire and master these skills and   our schools play a vital role in making this happen .” MICHAEL DELL, CEO, Dell, Inc.

Oral skills are developed Students then  discuss es  content, and  share problem-solving strategies . Guided-reading materials usually become increasingly challenging and are often read more than once.
Teacher is part of the process The  teacher  regularly  observes  and  assesses students' changing needs , and adjusts groupings accordingly
Simple  Guidelines With the teacher: The students are  organised in small groups, for example, around six pupils,  so that: 1.  the pupils are grouped with a common curricular target . 2.  the teacher specifically plans the session . 3.  the teacher works with the group for a short session,  i. g .  20 minutes

What are some of the criterias for l e veling books? Length Layout Structure and organization Ilustrations Words Phrases and sentences Literacy features – (complexity of ideas) Content and theme.
 
How are they distributed? Elementary Education Reading Level Table - By Grade K and TR -   A-B-C  1st grade -   C- D-E F-G-H-I 2nd grade -   H-I -J K-L-M 3rd grade -  L-M -N-O-P 4th grade -  O-P -Q-R-S-T-U-V 5th grade -  T-U-V -W-X-Y-Z   
So what do we want our students to achieve? Opportunities to develop fluency, to be enthusiastic, independent  and  critical readers.
In summary The following strategies are used effectively during guided reading: −  questioning; −  listening; −  observing; −  discussing; −  analysing.
Students are able to show understanding It be c omes a methodology for the teacher A.  Use of previous knowledge B.  Clarification of knowledge and additional information C.  Use of the knowledge under a new context.
