[MOSAIC] Guided Reading

[Laura Cannon]

I thought guided reading was a student's instructional level--that would be
a little ahead of their independent level.

I have never been trained in Guided Reading and having been reading up on  
it.  My question is this-Do the students need to be reading a text that
they 
can read independently?  I teach third grade and am "required" to use  the 
leveled readers that come with out basal series.  Only problem is that  for
about 
half my class the lowest level leveled reader is too difficult.   I have one

child who is capable of reading 44 kindergarten sight words and that  is
about 
it!
