Which process is emphasized during guided reading?

Independent work
Peer tutoring
Teacher-supported small group reading
Standardized testing preparation

The correct answer is: Teacher-supported small group reading

Guided reading emphasizes teacher-supported small group reading, which allows educators to tailor instruction to meet the specific needs of students. In guided reading sessions, teachers actively facilitate the reading process by providing targeted support, modeling strategies, and helping students navigate texts that are slightly above their independent reading level. This approach fosters critical thinking, comprehension skills, and a deeper engagement with the text. Through small group instruction, teachers can observe students' interactions with reading material, assess their understanding in real-time, and adjust their teaching strategies accordingly. The focus is on building reading skills in a structured yet flexible manner, making it an effective instructional method for developing literacy. This personalized attention within a small group setting contrasts with more independent tasks, peer tutoring scenarios, or standardized test preparation, which do not inherently prioritize interactive, guided comprehension of texts.
