Develop comprehension through guided reading
Guided reading, or as Lindsay Pickton refers to it 'guiding comprehension', is one of the most powerful teaching tools you have to meet higher standards of reading.
Teaching reading in this way gives teachers the opportunity to work closely with students, tailoring the teaching and the level of the text to their needs.
To help you embed effective guided reading in your school we have put together a wealth of resources and support.
For information on how Guided reading works, take a look at our 'Guided reading with Oxford' video with Independent Literacy Consultant Heather French.
Project X Origins is a whole-school programme which gives you everything you need to deliver high-quality guided reading - raising reading standards for all. Find out more by booking your place at a free event.
