BALANCED LITERACY PROGRAM

Shared Reading

READING WORKSHOP

10 minute mini-lesson

demonstrating a strategy

Readers choose “just right books”

and practice the reading strategy

Independent reading and

conferencing

INDEPENDENT READING

  The best way to become a better reader is to

practice each day, with books you choose, on your just-right reading level. It soon becomes a habit.

  The three different ways to read are the

following: Talk about the pictures Read the words Retell a previously read book

SHARED READINGShared Reading is an opportunity to have all eyes on the same 2nd grade level text. The text is read together aloud. We often use poems, songs, books, articles, and other text sources.

Instruction is given regarding concepts of print, word solving strategies, and fluency techniques.

Shared Reading allows for more time to practice strategies together, work on fluency and expression, check for understanding, hear one’s own voice, and helps them to share in the learning community.

 

INTERACTIVE READ ALOUD

o During Interactive Read Aloud time, a text is read to

students that is above the students’ own reading level.

o It’s a time that I demonstrate strategies and

encourage higher level thinking through questioning.

By modeling these strategies students begin to see

and use them in their own independent reading to gain

a deeper understanding of the text.

o Students discuss their thoughts and ideas with the

whole group or in pairs therefore developing their

communication skills.
