Read alouds are beneficial for students in all elementary grade levels. Through doing read alouds in my classroom, I am able to model proper fluency, voice articulation and inflection, and the correct pronunciations of vocabulary for my students. Read alouds can also be used to teach many useful strategies, such as comprehension strategies. Some of the comprehension strategies that can be taught through read alouds are predicting, questioning, inferencing, synthesizing and making connections. Click on the following link to see my read aloud lesson plan for the book "Pink & Say", through which I taught the comprehension strategy of questioning:https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=19dSIziAXcoxRSjfydj4NoKQc80_S4f8EYT2Su0q5his
