Guided Reading was written for K-3 classroom teachers, reading resource teachers, preservice teachers, teacher educators, researchers, administrators, and staff developers. Based on the authors' nine years of research and development, it explains how to create a balanced literacy program based on guided reading and supported by reading aloud, shared reading, interactive writing, and other approaches. While there is an entire chapter devoted solely to the process by which children become literate, every chapter presents theoretical underpinnings for the practices it suggests.
