“Think alouds” Literacy Strategy Chat by Lucky Souvannarath
THE PURPOSE • Productive readers practice self-questioning techniques and make connections to the text. • Think alouds allow you to MODEL and EXPLAIN how to do so.
The steps 1. Read a portion of a selected text. 2. Stop and step aside from the text for a moment. 3. Verbalize what you are thinking to make sense of the text.
The Conditions • Present the strategy in real text (no workbooks). • Do not provide a list of instructions or procedures for comprehension.
Stanza 1 A noiseless, patient spider, I mark’d, where, on a little promontory, it stood isolated; Mark’d how, to explore the vacant, vast surrounding, It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself; Ever unreeling them—ever tirelessly speeding them.
The PROS • Combines modeling with opportunities to express creative thinking while reading. • Can be used in every single content area. • No need for worksheets.
The cons • Instruction is teacher-centered, rather than student centered. • Student may find this as a way to day dream and not pay attention.
