The Prompting Guide App is now available for the iPad. Visit the app store to purchase it today!
The Fountas & Pinnell Prompting Guide Part 1, for Oral Reading and Early Writing, and Part 2, for Comprehension: Thinking, Talking, and Writing contain precise language to use when teaching, prompting for, and reinforcing effective strategic actions in reading and writing. Classroom teachers, reading specialists, literacy teachers, and literacy coaches can use the flip charts as a ready reference while working with students in several instructional settings and contexts.
Based on your observations and analysis of students' reading and writing behaviors, you can select the specific language that will work best for children as they build their literacy processing systems. The language in this guide will improve the reader's or writer's ability to solve problems and use strategic actions independently.
