Today’s OutcomesParticipants will: Examine how the instructional practice of read-aloud
with accountable talk can facilitate the implementation of the Common Core State Standards.
Define and learn the steps in planning, facilitating, and monitoring a read-aloud with accountable talk.
Participate in a read-aloud and analyze the engagement and high-yield instructional strategies taking place during this type of work.
Intentionally plan a read aloud to align with a specific reading unit.
Considering the CCSS “Understand the close, attentive reading that is the heart
of understanding and enjoying complex works of literature” “Students are engaged and open-minded-but discerning-
readers and listeners. They work diligently to understand precisely what an author or speaker is saying, but they also question the author’s assumptions and premises . . .”
“Students cite specific evidence when offering an oral or written interpretation of a text. They use relevant evidence when supporting their own points . . .”
“At the end of the year, they comprehend text at the high end of the text complexity band independently and proficiently (2-3, 4-5, 6-8).”
“Students must have ample opportunities to take part in a variety of rich, structured conversations-as part of whole class, in small groups, and with a partner.”
Matching Instruction to CCSS Balanced Literacy Scaffolded Instruction Gradual Release of Instruction
What is it? A teaching context in which students are
actively listening and responding to an oral reading of a text (Fountas and Pinnell, 2011)
What does it look like? Whole-class work Students on carpet or at desks Sitting beside their reading partner Teacher reading text, pausing at pre-determined
places in text to model thinking or engage students in the work of higher level comprehension
Students accountable to text (turn and talk, stop and jot, discussion)
Daily in a K-5 classroom (15 to 20 minutes)
Why do it? Reading aloud is an influential factor in young
children’s success Opportunity to extend and synthesize their
understandings through speaking and listening Utilizes many of Marzano’s research-based
strategies for increasing students’ achievement The model supports many SIOP principles
