The article and the book were very intriguing. I did not think about read aloud being that important to reading comprehension. However the article states that, “it enhances young children language and comprehension abilities.” Read aloud was always fun time for me. I never thought about it being a time for learning even though, I was actually learning. The most fascinating thing of a book when a child is younger is the pictures. Therefore, their comprehension skills are seldom based on the printed text of the book. As a child gets to become a teenager their comprehension levels rise or fail. A great example will be my sister; she read picture books only during her elementary years. The words of the book threw off her imagination as she would say; now all she reads is chapter books and romance novels in high school. The other key issue was using the materials, ideas, and items we have for the better of the child and not to hinder the child. Background knowledge is beneficial for a students learning, but should not be the most influential factor of their learning. The greatest part of the book and the article is just to challenge our students to be the best that they can be. We should challenge the way they read and think about their reading each day. I think that goals should be given on a daily basis to each student.
Question:
1. Where are some effective read aloud strategies books?
2. How do I find effective shared reading material?
