Modeling Through Read Aloud Analysis

623 Words2 Pages

Introduction: As an elementary teacher all I know is to find read alouds that go with the lessons we are teaching. Talking with middle school teachers they have said they have never used any sort of read-aloud. The article I choose speaks about read-alouds in a highly manner. The journal article talks highly about all the different parts of success during a read aloud. The purpose of the article is to prove that read alouds make a difference no matter what grade the students are in. As an elementary teacher I wanted to see what the impact was for the primary grade students on a strategy that I use everyday. Read aloud seems like something so easy to do I never realized that primary grades do not do that.
Modeling Through Read-Alouds: Students who struggle with reading seem to understand better if the book is read-aloud to them. The teachers make the book more interesting which helps the student comprehend the text better. Teachers ask open ended questions during read aloud. This is important because it helps the students understand why we are reading what we are reading. Also, during read alouds the teacher will introduce new vocabulary or new strategies to help with understanding reading. Modeling by the teacher is the most important piece of read alouds. Students understand more of how a good reader thinks and understand the text the more it is modeled and the only way to be properly modeled is through read alouds. …show more content…

As a teacher myself I make sure to make all my read alouds interactive. As you read you stop and ask questions hoping the students are engaged. The lower readers are always more engaged during read aloud then when asked to read themselves. As a teacher I must know where my students are they need be and plan the read aloud

    During a test, these students were taken to another classroom area so that the inclusion teacher was able to read the test to them. Self-reading in the inclusion classroom is sometimes avoided as much as possible. The inclusion teacher also stated that there have been tests where the amount of information was lessened to avoid additional frustration being added as they are already struggling with reading the test information. According to the general education teacher, students on occasion are encouraged to read out loud. However, there is more of a push for them to participate in classroom or group discussion. Students that are asked to read aloud are based on their ability. This type of interaction makes for a comfortable learning environment and participation with their peers. She stated that she tries to pre-teach information that they will be covering on that day in the form of a warm up when the kids first enter the classroom.

    One strategy that I recommend for reading interventions in the school setting is partner reading. During partner reading, students read together and take turns reading the text so that one student reads and the other follows and vice versa. The teacher could pair the struggling reader with a high-level reader which will benefit the struggling reader as they follow the high-level reader. Another strategy that I recommend for the school setting is called listening centers. During listening centers, the reader will read along to a text at their instructional level while the text is being read aloud to them by the teacher or a tape. Both of those strategies will model reading to the struggling reader and help them improve their fluency and reading skills (Tompkins, 2014). Furthermore, working on the child’s reading abilities is crucial in the home setting in order to encourage reading outside of school. A reading strategy that parents could use is read aloud. Parents could read aloud to their children every night in order to model fluency. In the case the parents are busy or unable to read to the child daily, they could simply use audiobooks application such as Audible that is available in most mobile devices that will read books aloud to the

    I have seen this some in the classrooms that I have observed. However, recently I have just seen teachers reading a story aloud to the children after an activity that arouses the children’s interests, but there are no during-reading prompts and questions or after-reading questions. I believe this something that needs to remain in the classroom. When children are not given opportunities to actively participate, they start to focus on other things instead of the story being read to them. When children have something to focus on they are staying actively engages with the text being read and

    There was a time in my life when I would have said that reading aloud is not something that someone needs to think about getting better at but my views on this subject have definitely changed over the years. Read aloud is my favorite time of my school day. I feel like there is a bonding that takes place between the class as we share a book together that can happen in no other way. In my opinion, reading aloud to students forms the pleasure connection that is a necessary part of creating lifelong readers. In the text, The Read Aloud Handbook, it explains that in reading you need to have a combination of knowing how to read and also a motivation to read.

    As a teacher, you need to encourage all attempts at reading, writing, speaking, and allowing children to experience the different functions and use of literacy activity (The Access Center, n.d.). Moreover, it is crucial for educators to understand phonological awareness and phonics; know what constitutes good children’s literature and how to use it; know children who need additional assistance with beginning reading and writing (Cunningham et al, 2004 as cited in McLachlan et al, 2013, p. 112).

    The five key elements are one, Phonemic Awareness. This is when a teacher helps children to learn how to manipulate sounds in our language and this helps children to learn how to read. Phonemic Awareness can help to improve a student’s reading, and spelling. With this type of training the effects on a child’s reading will last long after training is over. The second key is Phonics. Phonics has many positive benefits for children in elementary schools from kindergarten up to the sixth grade level. Phonics helps children who struggle with learning how to read by teaching them how to spell, comprehend what they are reading, and by showing them how to decode words. The third key is Vocabulary. Vocabulary is important when children are learning how to comprehend what they are reading. Showing children, the same vocabulary words by using repetition will help them to remember the words. The fourth key is comprehension. Comprehension is when a child’s understanding of comprehension is improved when teachers use different techniques such as generating questions, answering questions, and summarizing what they are

When I arrived, the children had just returned from recess and my fieldwork teacher transition her class with a read aloud. I could tell right off that this was a regular routine for her students. They sat down at the colorful alphabet rug in the center of the classroom. They sat quietly as their teacher read a chapter book on the wonderful adventures of a frog (sorry I didn’t catch the name of the book). She read several chapters and ask her students several questions about what had been read. So the part of the chapter I believed to be most beneficial, is making read alouds

    That is the goal of being a fluent reader. Mrs. Baughman uses the components of a story to teach comprehension. The components of the story are the setting, the plot, the conflict, and the resolution. If students can easily pick out the answers for the components of a story then their comprehension is growing. Another way to teach comprehension is by using graphic organizers like Venn-diagrams, story maps, and cause and effect charts. Teachers can also ask questions to make sure students understand the text. Not only does the teacher need to ask questions, but so do the students. If a student can ask questions, and with guidance answer it themselves they understand the material. The same goes with summarizing texts. A good way to check comprehension is to see how well the students summarized the texts. Doing so, can show if they really understand the material or they are just reading without thinking about it. Group work is a good way for students to share their thoughts on texts and help explain it to others in an easier way. If students do not comprehend text then their reading skills for the future will not be good. Teaching comprehension is not by just asking questions. There are many ways to check it that give a better view on how students are
