The guided practice classroom focuses on small group instruction. Ideally we would hope that you can initially setup your classroom to follow this small group framework so the transition into the Benchmark Assessment System and Leveled Literacy Intervention program will be easier for students.
You will be doing guided practice 3x per week, and the other 2 days per week would follow a regular classroom routine.
