Guided reading/small group lessons occur when the teacher works with a small group of students to help improve reading. The teacher guides them in reading a particular text. These lessons allow the teacher to work more personally with the students. From doing this lesson, I learned how working with small groups can make a big difference in a child's understanding of text.
