Let’s Learn about Guided Reading Plus

According to Dorn & Soffos (2012), the GRP intervention is designed for students who are emergent , early , or transitional readers struggling with grade level text. The goal is to teach students to acquire flexible strategies for solving problems in reading and writing, while maintaining focus on comprehension. This page is intended to assist you in developing the skills you need to plan, implement, assess, reflect, and collaborate with others on using GRP as a tier 1 intervention in classrooms or tier 2 intervention groups. Most of the materials to get started are on this page. However, I encourage you to purchase __Shaping Literate Minds__ and __Interventions That Work__ by Linda Dorn & Carla Soffos. These two texts are very important in shaping the understanding of literacy processing, scaffolding, and transfer as it relates to this intervention.

To get started, it is best to work in groups. Choose a lead teacher or literacy coach to assist in facilitating the meetings around the study. Then follow the steps below:

1. Read Chapter 3 in Shaping Literate Minds to learn more about the literacy processing system. This will help you understand what is expected of the students at particular levels. You will also want to read Chapter 5 in Interventions that Work.

2. If you have students who are levels A-3, watch the Emergent videos. Students 4-12, watch the Early. Students 13-28, watch the transitional videos. Print out the materials below before watching.

3. Watch Planning and Guided Reading Plus Videos of each Component
