Whether you teach preschool or high school, reading aloud is an essential teaching practice that boosts learners’ literacy skills and helps to create and sustain a vibrant community of engaged learners.
But a successful read aloud experience doesn’t simply happen. It requires some forethought, planning, and insight into your learners. Maria Walther shows you how to get the most out of read alouds – plus, she offers a bonus online lesson based on a popular children’s book.
This On-Your-Feet Guide will help teachers:
- Plan a read-aloud experience that promotes the joy of reading AND reinforces important skills
- Select the right books, focusing on key vocabulary and considering learning targets, as well as honoring and reflecting the students in your classroom
- Engage in a comprehension conversation using effective questioning techniques that spare conversation and deep thinking
- Troubleshoot with specific strategies to overcome common hiccups
Use this guide to get kids excited about reading!
