Description
The U.S. Doe Commission for Reading looked at over 10,000 studies and found that the most important activity for building the skills and background for eventual success in reading is reading aloud to children. In this session, we will pull apart the many ways read alouds can serve in this role, from building background and vocabulary to modeling fluency, to focused phonics skills and strategies. Like a Swiss Army Knife, the read aloud has many uses. Walk away with ideas for using read alouds in your classroom in ways you may not have even considered. This recording will be sent to you at 7:30 AM to view at your convenience.
