Reading Aloud

Also referred as modeled reading

It involves the teacher reading in a fluent and phrased manner

During this process the teacher is in control of what is being modeled

Students participate by listening and watching

When we read aloud to children they learn to enjoy stories & anticipate reading on their own. They begin to grasp that reading can be fun.

READ ALOUD : Promotes a love of reading and

stimulates the imagination, Provide models of fluent

reading, Develops sense of story/ text, Develops vocabulary and

encourages prediction, Builds a community of readers, Develops active listening.

Shared Reading

It involves students reading from an enlarged text in unison with the teacher

A sense of community is established and students feel encouraged &

confident to read along in enthusiastic environment

Students take a more active role in the process

demonstrations of how reading works,

as readers, Provides students with a safe,

Writing Aloud

The teacher thinks aloud ; students observe

The teacher should not attempt to model the entire writing process in a sitting.

The teacher models his thinking, planning, questioning, drafting, and revising.

Shared Writing

Also called as Modeled Writing.

The teacher and students collaborate to write texts ; the teacher acts as the scribe.

The teacher initiates and models writing, while students contribute their ideas.

The object of shared writing is to demonstrate and teach the necessary

skills and conventions of fluent writing.

SHARED WRITING : Supports reading development, Provides model for a variety of

writing styles, Models the connection among and between sounds, letters, and words, Produces text that students can

read independently, Necessitates communicating in a

clear and specific manner.

Guided Writing

The aim is to support students in becoming independent writers.

The teacher and students compose together using a "shared pen“ technique in which students do some of the writing.

GUIDED WRITING :

Provides opportunities to plan and construct texts, Increases spelling knowledge, Produces written language

resources in the classroom, Creates opportunities to apply what

has been learned

Independent Writing

The students write independently and implement that which they have

observed and experienced.

Students take responsibility for their own writing.
