Shared Reading

“Shared Reading is a form of reading aloud to children with a dual focus. In addition to reading a good book for enjoyment and understanding, the teacher and children can read for teaching and learning literacy concepts and strategies.” - Parks (2002)

What Does it Look Like--Shared Reading

• In Shared Reading the text is enlarged using a big book, chart, or projected text so the text is visible to the students at all times.

• Provides an opportunity for the teacher to demonstrate phrased, fluent reading and to draw attention to critical concepts about print

• The text is selected to meet the needs of the students, enabling them to actively participate in the reading of the text.

How Shared Reading Differs from Read Aloud

Shared reading complements and extends interactive read aloud, but there is one critical difference--especially for the youngest learners.In shared reading, students can see the text. This allows the teacher to clearly and explicitly show what proficient readers do to meet the challenges of text.

Why Shared Reading…

• We know from Vygotsky, that children can do more and learn more with the support of a “more expert other” than they can do and learn by themselves.

• During shared reading, learners observe an “expert” doing what s/he genuinely does (to make meaning) in the most authentic way (in the act of reading) and are encouraged to engage in the task.

Benefits of Shared Reading1. Allows students to enjoy materials that they may not be able to read on their own.2. Ensures that all students feel successful by providing support to the entire group.3. Students act as though they are reading.4. Helps novice readers learn about the relationship between oral language and

printed language.5. Assists students in learning where to look and/or focus their attention.6. Supports students as they gain awareness of symbols and print conventions, while

constructing meaning from text read.7. Assists students in making connections between background knowledge and new

information.8. Focuses on and helps develop concepts about print and phonemic connections.9. Helps in teaching frequently used vocabulary.10. Encourages prediction in reading.11. Helps students develop a sense of story and increases comprehension.

General design for a Shared Reading lesson

• Generally begins with rereading of something familiar

• Then a new text is introduced or another reading is revisited for in-depth rereading and discussion

• Finally there is an explicit mini-lesson either preplanned based on previous in-depth reading or as a result of that day’s lesson

• What techniques did the teacher use to encourage student involvement during the reading process?

• What materials were useful during the lesson? • How did the shared reading lesson exemplify “purposeful

instruction”? • How did the teacher select the text that would be used during the

shared reading lesson

Subsequent Readings

“The repeated readings of the same story serve various purposes. The first reading is for enjoyment; the second may focus on building and extending comprehension of the selection; a third might focus attention on the interesting language and vocabulary; a fourth might focus on decoding, using the words in the selection as a starting point for teaching word identification skills”

(Yaden, 1989).
