Guided Reading

I feel that my guided reading lesson went really well today. I really like the idea of the KWL charts for fifth graders. Not only are they reading but the chart forces them to comprehend what they are learning but they are learning the things they want to learn. I feel that comprehending what they are learning is the most important thing that children can learn while learning to read. As a college student I am required to do a lot of reading and I then have to explain what the reading meant. If I did not have reading comprehension then I would be unable to be a student. Overall I feel that these charts are helpful in teaching children to pay attention when they are reading.
