[MOSAIC] Guided Reading in Intermediate?

[Mary Manges]

Rhonda,
Can you share any specifics?  I teach strategies and use mostly lit. circles
with novels in fifth grade.  I also do writing workshop so I feel like I
have the basics in place  I'm mostly wondering how Guided Reading will
change these practices.
Thanks for the help!
Mary :)
