Read alouds are a perfect way to introduce students to vocabulary they would otherwise not be exposed to.  It is also a time to read and expose kids to different types of genres. I personally use read alouds to practice and model strategies I have taught in class. (I love teaching inferences and having the students confirm or contradict what they are thinking as the story changes) Read alouds also promote in depth class discussions where students feel comfortable to express their opinion. It is the favorite part of my day!

Read alouds are incredibly important for many different reasons. First they help build vocabulary knowledge; this helps them understand challenging words. Additionally, read alouds also help support comprehension, and builds a sense of community. This is done by allowing the students to talk openly about what they have read by pulling evidence out of a book, and having open-ended discussions. Furthermore, read alouds help to increase test scores by introducing the student to quality writing strategies, and increasing background knowledge.

Reading aloud is the foundation for literacy development.Listening to others read develops key understanding and skills, such as an appreciation for how a story is written and learning about authors purpose. Reading aloud demonstrates the relationship between the printed word and meanings. Children can listen on a higher language level than they can read, so reading aloud makes complex ideas more accessible and it exposes children to vocabulary and language patterns that are not part of everyday speech. It let's students that struggle with reading to get the same rich and engaging books that fluent readers can read on their own, and encourages them to become better readers.

Read alouds allow for the teacher to model the expectations of the learning. It gives students an idea of the lesson they are to experience when they go off and do the learning concept/strategy on their own. For example, the teacher models how to find the theme of a story. The students take their own story and can then practice the concept they learned from the read aloud.

Reading aloud to students is critical for so many reasons. Primarily it is the time that I can model what I am thinking as I read. It gives me a chance to demonstrate how I use context clues to figure out new vocabulary words.. It allows me to demonstrate reading strategies such as going back to read again for understanding. I can teach that reading a paragraph or sentence several times is important to comprehension. Dr. Nell Duke says that it is a time to model comprehension strategies such as "I wonder..." thoughts or encouraging visualizing what is being read. There are so many reasons to read aloud to students.....
