Writing

Shared Reading is an approach to teaching reading in which a teacher and a group of students come together to read, discuss, and learn from about texts. It's an approach that allows students to expeirence the joy of reading, the richness and variety of language and the stimulation of sharing ideas and information with their peers. As with an act of reading, the prime objective is to make meaning of the text. In shared reading, the teacher stretches learning by showing how expert readers handle texts. The teacher achieves this through implicit and explicit instruction and through quality interactions. In this approach, teachers build on their students' knowledge to help them deepen their thinking, critically evaluate texts, and become metcognitive readers.
