Foundation Phase: Group Guided Reading

Group Guided Reading is a key part of the Western Cape Education Department’s balanced literacy approach. It involves small groups of learners reading at a similar level, guided by a teacher who provides support, prompts, and targeted instruction. This method helps develop reading skills, comprehension, and confidence while encouraging active participation. Group Guided Reading ensures that every child progresses at their own pace, fostering a love for reading in a structured and engaging way.
