  7. Shared Book Reading • Whether in Spanish or English, reading books to children is one of the most popular, enduring and effective methods adults use to develop young children’s language. It is considered a developmentally appropriate practice for preschoolers

  8. Benefits of Shared Reading • Actively participate in reading • Learn to predict how a story will progress • Understand that illustrations can help construct meaning • Increase and develop new vocabulary • Discover and implement reading strategies • Recognize letters and sounds in the context of the words of the story • Understand concepts of the printed word • Sequence story events (K12Reader, 2014)

  9. How to Read Books with Young Children • Introduce the story by discussing the title, cover, and author/illustrator. Ask the students to make predictions regarding what they think the story might be about. • Read the story aloud to the students using appropriate inflection and tone. Pause and ask the students to make predictions. Ask brief questions to determine students' comprehension level. • Conclude the reading by reserving time for reactions and comments. Ask questions about the story and relate the story to the students' similar experiences. Ask the children to retell the story in their own words. • Re-read the story and/or allow time for independent reading. • Conduct follow-up activities such as making craftsrelated to the story (Reading Rockets, 2014)

  10. Books and Vocabulary Growth • Shared reading provides a good place to talk about words (Dickinson & Porche, 2011) • Read books using demanding (asking prediction questions) reading styles that assist children in processing information helps most to build vocabulary • Asking questions together with discussions helps: • Children’s learning • Focus attention • Encourages thinking about what is being read

  11. Rich Interactive Teacher Talk Matters • Begin by choosing a picture book that will spur a lot of questions • Children’s vocabulary grows when teacher talk requires them to reflect upon or analyze the words they hear • Teacher talk during shared reading benefits children when it moves beyond (labeling: “What is this?,” “What color is it?”) to more analytical questions (“What do you think is going to happen next?”)

  12. Label/Identify/Recall • Questions: • To name; to identify or designate with a label • Recall a previous day’s information • Examples: • Teacher: “Look at this picture. This is a shadow • Teacher: “What new word did we learn yesterday? • Teacher: “Who is the character in the story?” • Teacher: “The title of our book is The Rainy Day.” • Teacher: “What is all over the ground?”

  13. What Labeling Question Can You Ask?

  14. Define/Explain/Describe • Questions: • A statement or explanation that communicates critical attributes or meaning of the target vocabulary word • A definition or explanation that communicates understanding of the term • “A liquid is something wet, like water or juice.” • “Who can tell me what frozen means? • “What do you think will melton this page?” • “What was the big thing that happened to Moonbear in the story?”

  15. What Define/Explain/Describe Questions?

  16. Associate/Connect/Expand/Relate • Questions: • Make a logical connection of the new word with other words. • Compare words and connected concepts with other words and concepts, to extend knowledge • Connect concepts discussed in the story with life experiences • “Could we be in the shade if we felt the hot sun? Why or why not?” • “What is the difference between standing in the shade and standing in the sun?” • “Are there schools and apartments on the earth? • “Lets pretend we are sitting outside in the dark. Since you can’t see anything in the dark, tell me what you hear?”

  17. What Associate/Connect/Expand Questions?

  18. In summary • Three important types of questions • Label/identify/recall • Define/Explain/Describe • Associate/Connect/Expand/Relate
