Shared Reading
“Shared Reading is a form of reading aloud to
children with a dual focus. In addition to
reading a good book for enjoyment and
understanding, the teacher and children can
read for teaching and learning literacy
concepts and strategies.”
- Parks (2002)
What Does it Look Like--Shared Reading
• In Shared Reading the text is enlarged using a big book, chart,
or projected text so the text is visible to the students at all
times.
• Provides an opportunity for the teacher to demonstrate
phrased, fluent reading and to draw attention to critical
concepts about print
• The text is selected to meet the needs of the students,
enabling them to actively participate in the reading of the text.

How Shared
Reading Differs
from Read Aloud
Shared reading complements
and extends interactive read
aloud, but there is one critical
difference--especially for the
youngest learners.
In shared reading, students can
see the text. This allows the
teacher to clearly and explicitly
show what proficient readers do
to meet the challenges of text.
Why Shared Reading…
•
We know from Vygotsky, that
children can do more and learn more
with the support of a “more expert
other” than they can do and learn by
themselves.
•
During shared reading, learners observe
an “expert” doing what s/he genuinely
does (to make meaning) in the most
authentic way (in the act of reading)
and are encouraged to engage in the
task.
Benefits of Shared Reading
1.

3.
4.
Allows students to enjoy materials that they may not be able to read on their own.
Ensures that all students feel successful by providing support to the entire group.
Students act as though they are reading.
Helps novice readers learn about the relationship between oral language and
printed language.
5. Assists students in learning where to look and/or focus their attention.
6. Supports students as they gain awareness of symbols and print conventions, while
constructing meaning from text read.
7. Assists students in making connections between background knowledge and new
information.
8. Focuses on and helps develop concepts about print and phonemic connections.
9. Helps in teaching frequently used vocabulary.
10. Encourages prediction in reading.
11. Helps students develop a sense of story and increases comprehension.

General design for a Shared Reading
lesson
• Generally begins with rereading of something
familiar
• Then a new text is introduced or another
reading is revisited for in-depth rereading and
discussion
• Finally there is an explicit mini-lesson either
preplanned based on previous in-depth
reading or as a result of that day’s lesson

Shared Reading Video
• What techniques did the teacher use to encourage student
involvement during the reading process?
• What materials were useful during the lesson?
• How did the shared reading lesson exemplify “purposeful
instruction”?
• How did the teacher select the text that would be used
during the shared reading lesson
Subsequent Readings
“The repeated readings of the same story serve various
purposes. The first reading is for enjoyment; the
second may focus on building and extending
comprehension of the selection; a third might focus
attention on the interesting language and
vocabulary; a fourth might focus on decoding, using
the words in the selection as a starting point for
teaching word identification skills”
(Yaden, 1989).
