We all know about interactive read alouds, we know about guided reading & independent reading but SHARED Reading is often forgotten or confused with a read aloud. Check out this video below!
I love the Reading Mama blog! Check out this post all about Shared Reading. She has ideas for before, during and after reading activities. Be sure to grab her FREEBIE! 
What do you need to get started?
Today I want to dive deeper into shared reading and share some strategies that can be used to support this quick but MIGHTY type of reading instruction.
Shared reading only takes around 15 minutes. It is quick but packed full! Here is what you need to know!
- Teacher and students read together during this time.
- Teacher models and students practice decoding, comprehension and phonics strategies.
- It is part of the "WE DO" gradual release model.
What do you need to get started?
- A pocket chart
- Sentence strips
- Doc Camera
- Chart Paper
- Pointers
- Markers
- Dot Stickers
- Highlighter Tape
- Text (I LOVE using poetry during this time!) or a GRADE LEVEL text!
- Choose a strategy or skill you want to focus on!
For example, if I chose a poem, I would print a copy for each student and we would glue it into our poetry books. Students would then meet on the carpet. (I would always write the poem on sentence strips to use in the pocket chart.) But chart paper or doc camera would work too!
During the shared reading of the poem, I would first model reading the poem and making sure to stop at the end of each line to model the line breaks. We would then echo read the poem and clap the beat. This helps then identify the rhyme in the poem. We might also circle rhyming words or sight words.
Check out the other great ideas below!
- Use marker or highlighter to identify sight words in the poem
- Use the sentence strips to leave out words creating a CLOZE reading activity. (Like Guess the Covered Word)
- Use pointers to model tracking. (Students can even help with this pointing once they are comfortable with the tracking process.)
- Use the dot stickers to mark each word by placing it under. This will support tracking.
- Model fluency by paying attention to punctuation.
- Use highlighter tape or markers to quick code the poem!
- Discuss the meaning of the poem or the author's purpose.
- Look for cause and effect or a problem and solution.
Remember you only have 15 minutes so choose one thing each day to do with your text!
Example:
Monday: Read the text to the class (Model Tracking) & have them echo read with you & add dot stickers for tracking.
Tuesday: Read the text together & hunt for sight words & discuss comprehension.
Wednesday: Read the text together while tracking & choose a sentence with a tricky word and practice decoding.
Thursday: Read text together & quick code tricky words.
Friday: Read text in different voices & allow students to create an illustration and write about the text. (Make a class book!)
Does it have to be a poem?
Nope! Big Books are great! And digital books & novels too! Remember in shared reading you want the students to be able to see the text (or have a copy of the text.) so that they can work on decoding & phonics skills. Using a document camera or making copies of a certain piece of text will work super well!
Don't forget!!!! We have sets of these in our PLC room and on ParkView Prime!
These will be perfect when we are back to in person teaching!
FINGERS CROSSED!!!!
