This is a key component for literacy success. When students hear teachers read aloud, they are listening to fluent reading. With a read-aloud, you can engage students in higher-level thinking since the text may be more challenging than texts that K-2 students could read independently. Read-alouds are great for working on skills that don’t require students to be able to see and decode the text. What are the Benefits of a Read-Aloud?īy reading aloud, you’re giving students access to more challenging text than what they could decode on their own. Typically, read-alouds take about 10-15 minutes, not counting any follow-up activities you may do with them. This way, students can see the book up close (although they don’t need to be able to read the words).ĭuring a read-aloud, you do the actual decoding, while the students listen and engage in other ways (which we’ll get to a bit later in this post!) Many teachers like to have students come to a carpet or gathering space where students are a bit closer to the read-aloud text. In this post, I’ll answer these questions and explain exactly how to take any book and create a read-aloud lesson with it! What Is a Read-Aloud?Ī read-aloud occurs when you read a text or book to students. Or sometimes you just have a book you enjoy and want to share with the class, or it relates to something seasonal! So should you always have an objective? Can you read aloud a book just to…well…read a book?!.Sometimes, you’re given an objective or standard and then get to choose a book to support those skills.You may have a fairly specific curriculum that tells you exactly which standards to teach and also provides you with the texts/books for that standard.Read-alouds in Kindergarten, first grade, and second grade are often a favorite time of day for both teachers and students! There are a couple of ways to go about facilitating a read-aloud.
