Shake Up Shared Reading

In Shake Up Shared Reading, veteran teacher Maria Walther offers teachers a simple but robust scaffolding for moving from teacher-led demonstration of read aloud to student-led discovery of literacy skills—across the bridge of shared reading. This easily adaptable structure features short, targeted bursts of shared reading that are connected to and planned as a follow-up to a read-aloud experience. Read-aloud experiences drawn from 50 recently published works of children's literature from varied voices, that provide the foundation for the short, intensive shared reading interactions that follow.
