Shared Reading
Shared reading is a broad term describing activities where an adult reads aloud to children, incorporating interaction through the use of questioning and discussion.
Shared reading exposes students to age-appropriate literature, while providing scaffolding for language and literacy skills through teacher interaction. Because it elicits joint attention and is presented as an explicit routine, shared reading is especially suited to encourage language development.
