Maximizing The Instructional Impact Of Read Aloud In The Reading And Writing Workshop

Presented by: Lester Laminack
Lester is the author of many articles and books for teachers including Learning Under the Influence of Language and Literature: Making the Most of Read Alouds Across the Day and Building Bridges Across the Curriculum with Picture Books and Read-Aloud (Heinemann).

The read-aloud of yesteryear was often limited in its ambition and application--a well-intended routine for getting students' attention or settling them down. But today's read-aloud is a vibrant, deliberate part of good teaching, an essential, effective strategy for introducing sophisticated ideas to young learners by immersing them in rich language and literate behaviors. In this interactive workshop, Lester shows you how to plan for and implement the read-aloud for maximum instructional effect within the reading and writing workshop.
    Lester will lay out four types of read-alouds, each of which targets key instructional goals, including:
  • demonstrating the craft of writing
  • enriching vocabulary
  • enticing children to read independently
  • modeling fluent reading.
