Hello!
The file was updated this summer. All you need to do is go to "my purchases" after you log onto TPT. Then, file the file and click on download. It is that easy!
Take care,

Is this book mainly for primary grades, or could I use it in fifth grade?

Hi Mary,
The main question is....do you teach guided reading groups and need a resource to help you teach it more effectively? If so, then I would say, yes, you would enjoy it as a fifth grade teacher. You might also want to read some of the feedback other customers left. Maybe some can help you make a decision!
Take care,
Melissa :)

I'm not a teacher, but I do a lot of work with my daughter and her cousin at home. I would like to know if this is something I can implement at home for the two kids. They are in 1st grade. My daughter has already made great strides in reading. She went from a DRA2 leverl 6 to a level 21 since September, but I want her to continue to improve. Is this something I could use as well?

Hi,
Thanks so much for visiting our TpT store! This file is geared towards teachers who need guidance in working with a group of students in a guided reading group...so I dont think you will find that it is something to implement at home. It sounds like your daughter is making some excellent progress- keep up the great work!
Thanks, Melissa :)

Is there a page or two in this file about how to organize student responses during guided reading? I've heard of folders but wasn't sure what to put in them.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Jessica,
My students use a reader's notebook to write about their thinking during our independent reading time. They keep all of their work in their notebook. I keep all the anecdotal records/reading conference forms in my reading binder. THere is not a specific spot in the file for student responses to the text/group discussion. I have all of my student data in my binder and I place their sheet (such as their reading log) with the other students who are in that group with them. When I switch the groups arround according to the strategy or the skill we are learning about, I then just move the reading log (or other data) to a different spot/group in my binder. I hope that helps to clarify some things!

Hello! We are happy to be able to help. Can you please clarify what you are looking for? The other customer was only looking for the cover pages for the reading binder. If you are asking for the the worksheets that have to do with Guided Reading, then I think you are looking for the Become a Guided Reading Guru. If I am misunderstanding you, please send us an email at: teachers@lessonplansos.com
Also, if you are looking for a refund because of a duplicate purchase, you can contact TpT and they can help you. I included the link below:

Hello,
Thank you for your purchase! We are happy to hear you enjoy the Guided Reading Guru!! :) We also apologize that you are disappointed that the binder pages are not included. We thought that it was all clearly labeled, but can certainly understand the mistake you made. You can either contact the customer support for TpT and ask for a refund (just explain the mistake like you did here).

Or, you can purchase just the reading binder cover pages, by clicking on this link:

Hello Kathryn,
Thank you so much for visiting our TpT store! The guided reading guru does contain information about grading. It specifically mentions the use of running records, conferences, and using the child's reading level as a comprehension grade. If you purchase the file and you find that it does not have what you need, you can just let us know.
I hope that helps!!

Hey Lesson Plan SOS Teachers, I LOVE your guided reading guru pack! I bought it last school year and it has TREMENDOUSLY helped be become a better g.r. teacher. I was wondering if you could email me the sticky note color coded page so that I could change the colors. I use highlighters on plain sticky notes and need green to be orange. (or just send it to me with that color change) I would REALLY appreciate it! Again, I cannot thank you enough for this packet!

Hi there,
I purchased the `Become a Guided Reading Guru!´pack and love it. However when I saw your Reading Binder on Pinterest (where I originally got linked to your blog) there were matching `literature group`, 'reading conference`, `running records`, `reading workshop` and 'reading response letters' section sheets that I saw. Are there not included in the guided reading guru package? I was looking forward to having matching title pages for the different sections of the binger. I have the 'reading binder', along with the 'guided reding groups' pages but no cover sheets for the others, can you help me?
Thanks so much,
- Kathryn

Those cover pages are actually part of our Teacher Reading Binder file.

However, if you already have the Guided Reading Guru, you can still get the cover pages by clicking here:

We have fully implemented Guided Reading in our school for the last 3 years. I keep going back and forth between your two downloads. I'm not sure which one is the best for making the binder that would work for me. We don't do literature groups or the reader response letters. I love the idea of having the F and P chart handy, reading group pages, the teacher reference pages that you use when working with a group and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, the idea of the section dividers/pages that are so cute and colorful. Would you care to share which one you think might work? Thanks so much!

Hello!
Thank you for visiting our TpT store! Based on what you wrote, I think the Guided Reading Guru will best suit your needs- especially since you do not do literature groups. If you would like to purchase JUST the divider pages for the binder, we can send you a Paypal invoice for $4.00. Does that make sense? If you are interested, please email us at: teachers@lessonplansos.com

Hello Aenull-
Thanks for visiting our TpT store! The guided reading guru file includes the updated reading resources pages, along with all guided reading resources, which was on our blog. The Teacher Reading Binder has the cover pages for the binder, all the Guided Reading Guru resources pages (including updated ones on blog), and also resources on literature groups. A little more simply put...if you want the guided reading resources ONLY- go with the Guided Reading Guru file. If you want to make the binder like on the blog post, then will you want to go with the Teacher Reading Binder.
I hope that helps! Feel free to ask any more questions!

Thanks for the question! Our district adopted the Macmillan mcgraw- hill reading series. We have guided reading groups for 60 minutes a day as part of our overall instructional reading time. During the rest of the reading block we also do shared reading, which is part of our basal. I think you will find that you are able to implement your basal series your district requires with guided reading groups. I hope that helps to answer your questions!
