Effective read alouds support oral language, comprehension, vocabulary, and overall literacy development. Using the Gradual Release of Responsibility, we will model an extended read aloud lesson targeting grade level standards as well as student thinking and comprehension. We will explore the research behind the value of read alouds as well as provide resources to support the continued use of read alouds in the classroom.

Participants will need to bring at least two picture books/read alouds to use as we walk through building a week-long intentional read aloud lesson for immediate classroom implementation.
