Is Shared Reading for me?
Shared reading provides opportunities for expert readers to explicitly teach strategies, strategic actions and reading skills to less experienced readers. Learners engage in lively, interesting and purposeful teacher-led interactions around texts, as specific learning goals are addressed, explained and applied in context. This teaching approach is used across all year levels, subject areas and text types to develop, enhance and extend students' reading skills and knowledge.
What will I learn?
Shared Reading Online will address:
- the purpose of Shared reading
- the place of Shared reading within a balanced reading program
