Reddit reviews Better Learning Through Structured Teaching: A Framework for the Gradual Release of Responsibility

Of course! If you need a leg up on lesson planning, I'd recommend this book:
https://www.amazon.com/Better-Learning-Through-Structured-Teaching/dp/1416616292/ref=pd_sim_14_6?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1416616292&pd_rd_r=2F2WZ9DAGFC18QBVWD7G&pd_rd_w=HGEh1&pd_rd_wg=adpiA&psc=1&refRID=2F2WZ9DAGFC18QBVWD7G

It's amazing: short & to the point, and applies to all subjects & grade levels.
Good luck!

Essentially it's the "I do, we do, you do (together) and you do (alone)" format of instruction.
In a nutshell: the GRR is a more purposeful and STRUCTURED way to plan and deliver instruction. You (as the teacher) really think about the steps as you move from one to the other and what the learner's (student) role is in each step. In my own instruction, following the scripted curriculum, I wasn't really affording students the opportunity to engage in the necessary practice to truly demonstrate learning. Based on my research, I have found that many reading programs don't adhere to the GRR model or follow the "recipe'' for literacy success (article linked below).

This book has become my teaching Bible and it has lesson plan templates to ensure that you tie your instruction to the model: https://www.amazon.com/Better-Learning-Through-Structured-Teaching/dp/1416616292/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_img_0/140-3275623-1048462?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2AEA8CPNJZPQ4Q1TWPF0

These websites provide a nice synthesized visual to explain the GRR model:

This is an article in which the researchers analyze reading programs for the instructional methods used: http://readingbydesign.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Core-Reading-Programs-RRQ.pdf

From the discussion: "Release of Responsibility
If the release-of-responsibility model (Pearson &
Gallagher, 1983) is the preferred manner of assisting
students to acquire and internalize strategies, then
none of the programs have employed this model with
any consistency and some not at all. The missing link
in most programs is the lack of guided practice and the
need for students to model the strategies. In Programs
A, B, D, and E the instructional design moves from direct explanation to questioning with very limited guided
practice. Students are not guided to acquire and try out
the strategies. Program C is the exception; it employs
explanations, modeling, and guided practice while students read in some, but not all, instructional units" (p.120).
