Shannon and Mary discuss another pillar in the Balanced Literacy Series: Shared Reading. Shared reading is interactive reading with teacher guided support. This is essential for helping struggling readers build their fluency and expression as well as explicitly modeling how proficient readers approach text. It can be done in whole group, small group, or with individualized instruction. Sometimes you will see shared reading experiences modeled with big books or books that are projected for the whole class to share.   Resource Links:Reading Rockets: Shared ReadingMedium Shared Reading with Small Groups of Struggling ReadersReading Rockets PDF of Shared ReadingFountas & Pinnell Blog post about Shared ReadingReading A-Z Shared ReadingWhat is Shared Reading and why is it so important?
