Read-alouds, a systematic method of reading aloud,
•Allow teachers to scaffold children’s understanding of the book being read
•Model strategies for making predictions, inferences and explanations
•And teach vocabulary and concepts.
In Read-alouds, a storybook is read three times
in slightly different ways
in order to increase the amount and quality of children’s analytical talk
as they answer carefully crafted questions.
Research
Research has demonstrated that the most effective read-alouds are those where children are actively involved asking and answering questions and making predictions, rather than passively listening.
Effective teachers….
Model what ideal readers do by explicitly talking as they read, making children aware that they are predicting, making an inference, or changing their ideas about what is happening in a story.
Reading Aloud
1. Book is slightly above their comprehension level.
2. It lends itself to multiple readings
3. It should have a refrain that children can repeat.
4. For PreK 3’s-it becomes more interesting when it contains rhyme or repetition.
5. For PreK 4’s- includes engaging characters, suspense, a problem and solution.
6. Whole group or small group.
7. Cross curricular activities.

Repeated Interactive Read Aloud
A storybook is read three times in slightly different
ways in order to increase the amount and quality of
children’s analytical talk as they answer carefully
crafted questions.
Analytical Talk
Analytical talk involves making predications or
inferences that explain a character’s motivation or
connect events from different parts of the story.
Teachers prompt children to engage in analytic
thinking by making comments that model such
thinking and then asking thoughtful questions.
What I need to do to prepare for Read Aloud:
Teacher1. Read2. Practice3. Whole Group and
Small group.4. Modifications5. Decide on
predictions and questions.
Children1. Give the children
experiences with the new vocabulary.
2. You may do a picture walk.
