How long is the block of time needed for Shared and Guided Reading?
It depends on the grade level. There are 15-25 minutes blocks in Shared Reading and 30-45 minute blocks in Guided Reading. Each unit has a weekly five day plan with suggested times in the front of the Teachers Guide for pacing. The Good Habits, Great Reader’s Program Overview (page 4 and 5) presents the specific blocks of time needed for each level of the program.
