Guided Reading: The Romance and Reality by Fountas and Pinnell (December 2012)
"Some teachers have learned to be satisfied with their students simply reading accurately. This practice has led to pushing students up levels without
evidence of their control of the competencies that enable them to think within, beyond, and about texts at each level. The goal of the guided reading
lesson for students is not just to read “this book” or even to understand a single text. The goal of guided reading is to help students build their reading power—to build a network of strategic actions for processing texts."
