Shared Reading

This article is a great reference for teachers who are implementing reading into their classroom. There are so many ways to do this such as choral reading, echo reading, silent reading, etc. The most important thing that I think for teachers is to make reading fun! This is imperative in engaging your students. This article also says that shared reading positively affects student achievment. I think that shared reading will boost children’s self-esteem in reading and give them motivation to want to read more because it will help them comprehend texts. In comparing the different Blackbeard websites, I understand the importance of having students reference several different pages in order to get different information to compare and decide which information is true, and most repetitive. In actally doing the activities, it has given me a better understanding of the material and how to implement it in a classroom.
