  1. Why Read Aloud to Students? Paige Hauser and Tiffany Moore Spring 2012 RE 5710

  2. Our Interest • Research to support the importance of read aloud • Information about read aloud to foster student interest in reading • Benefits of using multi-cultural literature • Effective methods for read aloud instruction

  3. Optimizing the Read Aloud Experience

  4. Hoffman, J. L. (2011). Co-constructing Meaning: Interactive Literary Discussions in Kindergarten Read-Alouds. Reading Teacher, 65(3), 183-194. • Identified 4 instructional supports for helping students achieve higher order interpretations of text: • Encourage Student Talk • Strategically help students recapture meaning when misconceptions arise • Help students interpret text without imposing their ideas • Shift focus from literal to interpretive

  5. Repeated Read Aloud • 1st Read Aloud-Children are listeners and contribute very little. • 2nd Read Aloud-Read the story and delve deeper, going beyond story elements. • 3rd Read Aloud-Review vocabulary words. Students are able to use analytic talk when discussing the story, instead of simply retelling the events.

  6. Non-fiction Read Aloud • Know your objectives • Use a variety of non-fiction subgenres • Ask open-ended questions • Follow-up with writing activities • Teach listening skills • Help students identify genre before reading • K-W-L charts • Model non-fiction retells and then shift to

  7. Supporting Vocabulary Growth • Rich instruction is the best method when teaching vocabulary • Scaffold from previously learned vocabulary • Students apply learned vocabulary to support comprehension and speak expressively

  8. Critical Literacy Understanding the benefits of multi-cultural literacy

  9. Benefits of Critical Literacy • Develop a deeper understanding of the world around, particularly social topics • Develop a voice on important social issues • Make critical connections to read aloud texts, which sharpens their thinking and reasoning skills • Provides exposure to many types of literature, while teaching them to think critically about stories read

  10. Critical Literacy and Multi-Cultural Texts • Student awareness increased about “values, beliefs and social practices of cultures other than their own” (Evans, 97). • Developed a deeper understanding and appreciation of their own culture • Developed a deeper understanding of issues related to prejudice, bias, and tolerance
