  • Read-aloud is an instructional practice where teachers, parents, and caregivers read texts aloud to children. The reader incorporates variations in pitch, tone, pace, volume, pauses, eye contact, questions, and comments to produce a fluent and enjoyable delivery.

  • Shared reading is an interactive reading experience that occurs when students join in or share the reading of a big book or other enlarged text while guided and supported by a teacher or other experienced reader.

  • Students will express interests in books by quoting repetitive phrases along with the teacher, laughing and commenting, and may ask to hear the book again.

  • Students develop book awareness and book-handling skills and begin to become aware of print features such as capital letters, punctuation marks, word boundaries, and differences in word lengths. Awareness of print concepts provides the backdrop against which reading and writing are best learned.

  • Students engage with books in a variety of ways such as reading the words, reading the pictures, and retelling a familiar story.

  • Emergent readers can enjoy books by reading the pictures. This helps develop a love of reading while they are still learning to read.

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
