"This second edition of Guiding Reading has been thoroughly revised and expanded. It is a helpful complement to two further books on guided reading published by the Institute of Education: Book Bands for Guided Reading: Organising KS1 texts for the Literacy Hour, Bridging Bands for Guided Reading: Resourcing for diversity into KS2, which covers the transition from KS1 to KS2." "This is an essential handbook for all literacy co-ordinators and an invaluable resource for newly qualified teachers and class teachers."--Jacket.
