Shared+Reading+Making+it+Work

//Read the article "Shared Reading: Making it Work" by Margaret Mallow, and then find and upload a picture, symbol, or clip art that expresses some aspect of the approach Reading With children.

(Tips: When you find what you want to use, save the graphic to a location on your computer where you can find it again. Follow the upload directions after clicking on the little picture in the editor above. When the picture is uploaded onto the page, it may be gigantic like mine was. You can make the picture smaller by clicking on it, then selecting the minus sign in the box that pops up. You may have to "minus" several times to get the picture to a usable size.)

In a sentence or two, tell why you chose the picture. Reference the article where appropriate. Sign your name.

// Shared Reading, or Reading With children, is part of an apprenticeship model where the more knowledgeable adult gives strong support in helping children read something they can't yet read for themselves. Research into how young children learn by watching, imitating and receiving timely help from parents, grandparents, or other caregivers supports the apprenticeship model of teaching and learning. The teacher models reading behaviors and fluent reading, and encourages participation on the "easy parts," such as a repeated word, phrase, sentence, or refrain. Dottie Best
