Reading to young children promotes language acquisition and literacy development and, later on, achievement in reading comprehension and overall success in school.

Hi Venessa,
ReplyDeleteI came across this information while reading and thought I'd add to your facts about reading aloud. I practice read aloud with my students to help them with their inferencing.
"Through engaging in interactive read aloud, teachers can read text aloud and
pose questions throughout the reading to involve students in the learning process.
Teachers can pose “ I wonder” questions as they read so that students can recognize that
authors do not explicitly say everything they wish to communicate, and as a result gets
readers involved in the process of creating meaning (Buehl, 2001)."
