This is a method that I would like ...Dear Debbie, <br /><br />This is a method that I would like to try to use in my class, which is made up of rather under-achieving students in an ESL context, whose reading scores indicate ability levels ranging from 3rd grade to college-level. <br /><br />I need some practical ideas for how to make this work. Can you please refer me to a book or website that gives more information and practical strategies related to shared reading in high school? Most of what I ma finding is geared toward elementary use. <br /><br />Thank you in advance!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463748014603510099.post-36436671549983939552011-08-19T21:48:32.152-04:002011-08-19T21:48:32.152-04:00Debbie! Ever since I worked with you my 3rd year ...Debbie! Ever since I worked with you my 3rd year of teaching, I have read aloud Bill Bryson's book to my students. I find that kids learn how to pronounce words correctly because they hear you say it out loud, and you have the ability to pause and discuss the "Aha" moments in the text or questions that arise in our heads as we read through the text. Yes, I would agree with you - so many teachers would prefer to have the kids read silently so that they can grade or do something else (which just irks the crap out of me). I miss you and I miss your writing! I just started back up last week actually :) Love you and miss you!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02263604490170060075noreply@blogger.com
