Interactive read aloud and implementing digital reading and writing workshops

Interactive read-aloud:

This was a great article. It was very interesting and I learned a lot from it. Read-aloud are a productive way to expose students to effective listening comprehension skills. They can also develop and increase their vocabulary, concepts of print, concepts of story, and background of knowledge. This was a reading I can relate to, the way that Mrs. Jones decided the strategies that she wanted to use for the interactive reading is the same way my headteacher from work does it. Before my headteacher chooses a book she pre-reads it so she knows if its a good book to read to our students. She also tries to challenge our students by asking them questions after she reads a page to see if they are comprehending the information and really grasping it like Mrs. Jones did with her students. Interactive read aloud lessons help engage children in listening, and speaking when a question is being asked about the book. I know interactive read-aloud benefit students because my students really grasp the information when we read the book to them several times throughout the week. As a teacher I want to be able to model what is expect from my students with peer work, or group talk. So they are all able to participate and engage into the lesson. This article was a great read. I have a better understanding of the benefits of interactive read aloud. I want to be able to use these same strategies in my classroom one day with my students.
