INTERACTIVE READ ALOUDSASSESS YOURSELF. ARE YOU…
Reading aloud for 20-30 minutes at least 3Xweek?
Using quality informational and narrative texts? Integrating subject areas to promote
intertextual connections? Deliberately planning which skills and
strategies you will focus on with each text? Incorporating think-alouds into your instruction?
Goal: engage students in actively using specific reading strategies while teacher guides and coaches.
POSSIBLE STRUCTURE FOR AN INTERACTIVE READ ALOUD
- Book Intro- Think Alouds (at least 2)- Turn and Talk- Think Alouds- Turn and Talk - (Grand conversation – 1 time per week?)
INTERACTIVE READ ALOUDS
What has Katie done to prepare for a successful Interactive Read
Aloud?
INTERACTIVE READ ALOUDS
Resist the Temptation to… make your read aloud a Q/A session or an
oral comprehension quiz
call on individual students
read aloud without preparing What does the text have to offer? What CCSS and/or strategies do I want to model? Are my post it notes ready?
let students control the conversation / focus

instructional level•Teacher gives book intro, overviews the text/vocab• Teacher observes and coaches students while
they read• Book discussion
• Leaves students with a teaching point

Lessons
• Heterogeneously grouped based on observed need of a
specific strategy• Single or multiple texts
in use• Teacher demonstrates
use of pre-determined strategy
• Teacher coaches student use of strategy
•Strategy lessons build on one another and layer
complexity
NEXT STEP…MINI LESSONS
What should a mini lesson look like?

ANCHOR CHARTS: HOW DO THEY FIT INTO A MINI LESSON?
Skill = the what Strategy = the how Why = reasons readers use it
LET’S WATCH A MINI-LESSON IN ACTION
VIDEO
What elements of the mini-lesson do you see? Make notes as you watch.
NOW YOU TRY!
Look through your grade level’s non-fiction unit of study.
Choose one teaching point and prepare a mini-lesson with your teammates, using the Time for Kids article on endangered animals.
Be ready to share out the structure of your mini-lesson.
