  • My students and I watched this video while discussing features of effective read-alouds. Our suggestions are:

    1. Do not show pictures the entire time. Show pictures only at appropriate stoppage points.

    2. Highlight Tier 2 words to enrich kids' language.

    3. Do not ask personalized questions until the very end; they distract kids from the material.

    4. There was good tone and enthusiasm demonstrated while reading.

  • My students and I watched this video while discussing features of effective read-alouds. Our suggestions are:

    1. Good job varying the tone of your voice while reading.

    2. Ask questions that have kids wrap their minds around the story by listening to the language.

    3. Don't show pictures; they will distract kids from paying attention to the language they hear.

    4. Reserve questions that personal questions (e.g., how would you have felt? etc) at the wrap up.

  • My students and I watched this video while discussing features of effective read-alouds. Our suggestions are:

    1. Don't show pictures so children are forced to focus on the language of the story.

    2. Ask more comprehension questions to ensure students are paying attention.

    3. Address Tier 2 words; words that are conceptually familiar to kids but are not used by kids.

    4. Good job at varying the tone while reading.

  • My students and I watched this video while discussing features of effective read-alouds. Our suggestions are:

    1. While introducing the cover, do not give it all away to kids.

    2. Don't show pictures the whole time.

    3. Ask questions that are directly related to the story.

    4. Teach vocabulary words that kids may not know but may be familiar with the concept (scalding vs. hot).

    5. Extend the moral of the story to lives of kids at the end.

  • My students and I watched this video while discussing features of effective read-alouds. Our suggestions are:

    1. Do not show pictures until stoppage points following a few pages of a section.

    2. Do not summarize the book before the book is read. It gives it all away.

    3. Ask more questions that would elicit engaged responses.

  • My students and I watched this video while discussing features of effective read-alouds. Our suggestions are:

    We felt like your text talk lesson was well organized. We feel like it could have been better if you had not shown the pictures as you were reading. This would force students to attend to the language of the text rather than relying on illustrations to understand the story. You should have also highlighted 3-4 vocabulary words. We really enjoyed the book you picked!

  • My students and I watched this video while discussing features of effective read-alouds. Our suggestions are:

    1. Enthusiastic tone and a nice introduction to the book.

    2. Showing the pictures while reading the book can take away from the content of the book.

    3. More open ended discussions will provide more discussions

    4. Pull out three vocabulary words to help enrich the students’ language.

  • My students and I watched this video while discussing features of effective read-alouds. Our suggestions are:

    *Children need to be present

    *Pictures need to be presented after the page is completed.

    *No vocabulary words were discussed

    *There was no wrap-up after the story

  • My students and I watched this video while discussing features of effective read-alouds. Below are some suggestions:

    1. Make questions more open- ended and thought-provoking. Questions should not require one-word answers but elicit rich language.

    2. Show the pictures after reading a section from the book; otherwise it distracts the students from focusing on the book's rich language.

    3. Pick out three to four rare vocabulary words to highlight.

    The reader was not monotonous.

    CR's Group

  • My students and I watched this video while discussing features of effective read-alouds. Our suggestions are:

    1. Do not summarize the book before reading.

    2. Do not ask yes/no questions. They constrain potential for rich expression.

    3. Bring students' attention to the language not to the pictures; therefore, do not show pictures while reading.

    4. Emphasize 3-4 vocabulary words that denote concepts kids know but do not use daily: scalding vs. hot.

    Very enthusiastic while reading!
