Gradual Release Model

The gradual release model scaffolds reading instruction from teacher-regulated to student-regulated. It begins with the teacher modeling reading strategies through think-alouds and read-alouds. Next, teachers provide supported practice through shared reading and explicit mini-lessons to help students apply strategies with guidance. Finally, students independently apply strategies through literature circles, guided reading, and free choice reading with the teacher monitoring their progress.
