Guided Reading Lesson 2 Video

I liked the approach taken in this video. First, I thought that the teacher's "5 Finger Rule" was very helpful to children when deciding if a book was at the appropriate reading level for them. Also, it's an easy trick for students who are young. Second, I liked that the teacher reviewed the pictures and hard words with the students before asking them to read the book on their own. This gives them an idea about the book and keys them into the vocabulary. Lastly, I liked that the teacher took special time with each student and listened to him/her read out loud to determine progress, strengths, weaknesses, etc. Overall, this was a good video and it gives me a clear picture of what to do when I become a teacher.
