 The History behind Shared reading

Don Holdaway
 What are big books?
Big books are highly appealing to readers of all ages,
especially very young children.
 Features and characteristics of big books that
captivate readers include:

• The overall size being an enlarged version of a book

• Large, bolded print that can be easily read from a distance.
• Large, colorful pictures that are supportive of the story's
meaning
• simple text with one or two lines
of print per page.
The features of shared Reading

How long should Shared Reading Last?

The shared Reading schedule should designate fifteen
minutes per day for up to five days to explore one
book.
What is Expected during shared Reading?

The shared Reading structure incorporates

participation between the teacher and students
during the Reading of stories, as well as
discussions and activities.
Teacher are expected to:

• Provide a safe and enjoyable setting for learning.

• Model fluently phrased Reading with expression
• Systemically and explicitly teach Reading strategies that will
assist students in becoming proficient and successful reader.
• Use shared Reading questions before and during a story to
help students make connections using prior knowledge.
Teacher are expected to:

• Help students record their thinking in the form of a

shared reading graphic organizer such as an anchor
chart.
• Help students understand the reciprocity between
shared Reading and writing
• Gradually decrease the amount of support given to
the child.
During shared Reading, students are
expected to:

• Engage in the Reading of story.

• Activate prior knowledge and make connections to the story
that will help them with meaning.
• Share in discussion and join on activities related to the story.
• Observed and focus on the modeling done by the teacher .
During shared Reading, students are
expected to:

• Participate in the building of shared Reading anchor

charts and graphic organizers for future reference.
• Develop an understanding of reciprocity between shared
Reading and writing.
• Become more independent with each rereading of the
story.
Shared Reading and Writing
• Reading and writing are reciprocal. What is learned in
reading helps in writing and what is learned in writing
helps in reading. Reading is about taking words apart,
while writing is about putting words together. A skilled
teacher can use the reciprocity between the two to teach
word-solving strategies that will increase both reading
and writing vocabulary.
 Shared Reading Teaching Points

Teaching points for shared reading vary

depending on the grade level and complexity of
the students' reading levels. As students move up
in grade level, they bring with them more
experience with print.
 Shared Reading Anchor Charts

• Anchor charts are instructional tools used to facilitate learning

and support instruction. These shared reading graphic
organizers provide a visual aid that allows the thinking of both
the teacher and the students to become visible during the
modeling and teaching of a reading strategy.
 Shared Reading Assessment

• It is important for teachers to monitor instruction and

student progress throughout shared reading.
Assessment is used to inform instruction.
The Purpose of Shared Reading
The Goal of Shared Reading
 The goal of shared reading is to introduce children to the
reading process while systematically and explicitly teaching
them how to become successful readers and writers. It allows
an opportunity for the whole class to participate in and enjoy
reading texts that most students are not yet ready to read
independently, in a non-threatening environment.
 Shared Reading Objectives

taught during shared reading. Each grade level has
literacy and language objectives that can be
targeted within shared reading.

important in preschool, kindergarten, and first-
grade classes where many young children are still
developing language skills.
 Shared reading questions

Questioning plays an important role in teaching

literary during shared reading. Teachers model and
prompt with questions before, during and after the
reading of the story to help guide students’ thinking and
discussion.

picture or story?
During Reading
What do think will happen next?
After reading
 What was your favorite part of the story? * Did you like the way
