Shared reading strategy can be used from preschool
stage till grade 3. The focus of the steps given below are more applicable to
the stage of emergent literacy or beginning reading when children are learning
about concepts of print. Shared reading helps in engaging children with print,
developing concepts of print, listening to model reading, asking and answering
questions and listening comprehension. In shared reading, a big book is used
which is held facing the children. It is an activity where both teacher and
children are involved in reading the text. The reading by teacher can be done
twice—once fluently, and a second time by pointing to each word. Ideally, there
should be a few copies of the storybook in smaller version
Step 1:
Introduce the Story (See questions
attached)
•
|
Discuss the book cover's title and illustration.
|
•
|
Invite predictions about the story based on pictures.
|
•
|
Point out and explain the author and illustrator, the start and end
of the book.
|
|
Step 2: Read
the Story (See questions attached)
•
|
Be dramatic and enthusiastic, showing obvious delight in both the
storyline and the language.
·
Read the story pointing to each word with one finger
|
•
|
Invite predictions after each page based on earlier story and
illustrations.
|
•
|
·
Explain any difficult words
|
|
Step 3:
Conclude the Reading Period (See questions attached)
•
|
Allow time and space for spontaneous reaction and comments.
|
•
|
Ask about parts the children enjoyed most or least.
|
•
|
Ask questions about the story line, e.g. why certain events took
place.
|
•
|
Ask questions relating the story to the children, e.g. have they
experienced something similar, or how would they have handles things
differently than the story's characters.
|
|
Step 4:
Conduct Additional After-Reading Activities
•
|
Ask the children to retell the story in their own words.
|
•
|
If appropriate, focus on repetitive elements, such as a phrase,
chant or chorus, and ask children to chime in as you re-read that element
in the story.
|
•
|
Point to the words in the text to demonstrate the conventions of
print.
|
|
Step 5:
Re-read the Story
•
|
If time permits, re-read the book.
|
•
|
Usually, the first reading emphasizes meaning and enjoyment.
|
•
|
Subsequent readings aim to (1) increase participation, (2) teach
about book characteristics and print conventions, (3) teach reading
strategies, (4) help develop a sight vocabulary of high frequency words,
and (5) teach phonics.
|
•
|
Due to the limited time, you may want to cover one of these areas
during the first reading of the book.
|
|
Step 6:
Allow Independent Reading
•
|
If time permits, allow children to browse or read book themselves. The
children may only ‘pretend’ to read.
|
•
|
Holding a book and reading it themselves often gives children a
feeling of being "members of the club of readers."
|
|
Step 7:
Conduct Follow-Up Activities
READING ALOUD
The main difference is that the book is read
aloud by the teacher with expression in a fluent manner without focusing on
‘concepts of print’ kind of skills. The teacher may not ask for predictions
during the reading. This is a teacher-led activity. However, before and after
reading, all the other steps can be followed. Children should be ‘read-aloud’
to everyday for some time. This activity can continue till much later in
primary grades.
Sir ,
ReplyDeleteFor development of reading skill with the student of class 2 , I started working in P S Ashapur Second , Chiraigaon Varanasi . I felt that step suggested by you to improve the skills is quite successful .
During the workshop the course of action was discussed in detail . Keeping all those thing in mind first of all I talk to all student to know what is their competency level . this is recorded by me . During next step with the help of all teachers of school a print rich environment was prepared . During the class a friendly talk is being practice at the beginning . Today I talk to student with one story of '' CHAPALOO MOUSE '' . Firstly I talk to them regarding all the animals which they see in and around their home . The story of CHAPALOO was told to them with gestures . During telling the story few questions were also asked to them . Next the model reading was carried out .In between the model reading few important words were written on the black board . then chance was given to read the word ( Decoding ) . I felt the success percentage was quite high . Lastly all student were asked to sketch a figure of Rat and colour them . All did well . During the class I felt students are happy and active all the time and their learning is better . Today I enjoyed my class .
