  2. Aims of Shared Reading • Improve reading • Make reading a pleasant experience: fun and exciting • Improve self confidence

  3. What is Shared Reading? • Reading in tandem / reading together leading on to independent reading • Child does not experience failure – he/she is not alone • Gains fluency, leads to confidence • Emphasis is on enjoyment and comprehension – talk about the story, pictures, characters, ENJOY THE BOOK

  4. Results • Child will want to read more • Have more confidence and self esteem • Show more understanding in reading

  5. Shared Reading is successful if.... • Positive approach is adopted • Atmosphere is calm and relaxed - important to read at child’s pace • Parent supplies help to child when it’s needed – eliminates failure and anxiety • Child becomes more familiar with the written word: improves fluency and confidence

  6. HOW? • Time – 10 minutes, Monday – Thursday • Suitable place – NO DISTRACTIONS (TV, football etc) • Child chooses book that he/she is interested in and able to read it comfortably • Use COMMENT CARD to indicate suitability of book • Parent smiles and encourages child – child is happy and confident

  7. Cont. • After a while child signals to parent when he/she is confident to read alone • If child struggles: give word, continue together, child will signal when to stop • When child is reading independently: encourage, praise, enjoy

  8. Reading in general • Involve your child in selecting materials. • Read to your child as often as possible. Keep it short and fun (10 minutes a day). Finish up where they are enjoying the story and want more! • Go to the library on a regular basis and keep up to date on books peers are reading.

  9. Cont. • Help your child access books on CD and listen to them together while following the text in the book. • Let your child see you reading for enjoyment and for different purposes. • Use everyday opportunities to encourage reading e.g. Signs, adverts, greeting cards, computer games, playing board games/card games etc.
