Professional Practice: To achieve this goal, I will provide a literacy program that includes guided
reading, independent reading and literature study. During the guided reading portion, I will bring
together students of similar reading level, text-processing needs and reading strengths. One
particular research-based strategy, guided reading, is an important best practice
associated with todays balanced literacy instruction (Iaquinta, 2006).
