Abstract
The researcher in the current study utilized a qualitative, single case study methodology to explore upper elementary teachers’ perceptions of the effects of guided reading instruction on their fluency instruction, their efforts toward students’ self-efficacy in reading, and their comprehension instruction. Classroom educators from Grades 3, 4, and 5 completed an online survey, and a subsample of participants completed a semi structured follow-up interview. Participants responded to questions and probes designed to target their beliefs about guided reading instruction at the upper elementary level and how those beliefs affected their fluency, self-efficacy, and comprehension instruction of upper elementary students.
