• A model of explicit and interactive instruction in which the teacher initially provides extensive scaffolding, primarily through whole groups and shared literacy and language opportunities.

• A method of literacy instruction currently popular in U.S. schools. Small groups of students with similar levels of literacy development are provided targeted instruction in areas of need with appropriately leveled texts. Teaching for Biliteracy by Karen Beeman and Cheryl Urow

• A form of literacy instruction in which small, homogenous groups of students are matched to texts at their appropriate instructional level, and the teacher provides support as students attempt to read the texts on their own.

guided writing

• A form of literacy instruction designed to address an area of need within students’ writing development. Typically, guided writing lessons start with a mini-lesson on some aspect of writing; students practice the writing principle or strategy they were just taught, under the teacher’s supervision, and then share their final written projects.
