Shared Reading Section

Shared Reading is an instructional practice that is necessary to incorporate frequently into daily reading in the classroom. By reading along with the teacher and together with classmates, students can read texts that they may not be able to read independently. They are getting the practice and picking up on strategies they will need for independent reading through doing the shared readings. Shared reading should be short and have a focused reading strategy, such as fluency or grammar. Shared reading should be done with the step-by-step process of "I do, we do, you do." I do/show first to model and demonstrate proper technique and strategies. We do to practice together, as in guided reading. You (the students) then do independently.
