Shared Reading

In the shared reading and writing strategies, everyone participates;  there is a shared responsibility for learning.  The teacher's purpose in shared reading varies from grade level to grade level and from lesson to lesson. 

Reading Writing

   Purpose:

This process will appear differently in different lessons and classrooms.  The important thing in a shared reading is that the students have access to read the text.  The teacher is the 'main' reader, and the students will read along.  The students are not reading alone during the shared reading, they are reading with the teacher.  It can be reading orally or to themselves.  The teacher is providing a great deal of support in gaining meaning from the text.
