4. Active Discussion vs. Postponing Questions
Some teachers prefer active discussion during read-
aloud time, while others postpone questions until the
end
Most believe that reading in segments following each
section with questions that guide discussion are the
best method to enhance comprehension
5. Discriminative Listening
Used to distinguish sounds
Children use it to develop phonemic awareness
Children pick up on non-verbal messages and
repetition to develop understanding of emphasis i.e.
writing on the chalkboard or speaking loudly
6. Aesthetic Listening
AKA appreciative listening or listening for pleasure
The focus is the lived through experience and connection the listener
makes to the story or piece
Examples: stories, poetry, songs, plays movies
Benefits-Interest in reading is stimulated, taste for quality literature is
broadened, difficult books become accessible, background knowledge
expands, reading role models
7. Teaching Listening
In a study of 6th graders 62% of students said they
enjoyed listening to the teacher read-aloud
Students listen better when they are involved as the
teacher is reading as opposed to afterwards
Listening is a receptive process
Teachers must teach listening strategies-don’t
take for granted students know how to listen.
Strategies: predicting, re-predicting, visualizing, and
connecting (text-to-text, text-to-self, text-to world)
8. Choosing a Book for Interactive Read-Alouds
1)Pick- High quality
2)Preview- Practice reading, make notes
3)Introduce- set purpose for listening; activate prior knowledge
4)Read interactively- model fluent and expressive language; step 2
5)After Reading activities
Participate in discussion and
After reading activities.
10. Re-Reading
Repetition allows students to gain control over parts of the
story, and connect those parts
Quality of responses improve
With multiple readings the focus of responses changes from
character based to detail and word base
11. Guidelines for Using Videos in the Classroom
Those with limited background knowledge can benefit from
viewing or listening aloud before reading; for others this may
lessen interest
The steps are similar to choosing a book
Preview, set purpose etc.
Compare contrast; introduce narration, setting etc. (AMA)
