Modeling read aloud is a benefit for both teachers and students because it sets the expectations, and shows students how they should be reading, using correct speed, inflection in their voice, and when to pause at commas and other punctuation.

With this strategy, a poster is hung in the classroom as a reminder to students what each type of punctuation mark looks like, and what the type of inflection in their voice. The poster goes on to include quotation marks which is a great way for students to read different voices for different characters. This poster is beneficial for teachers, as the reminder will always be hanging in the classroom for reference. The students will benefit from this strategy by always having that reference in a nearby spot for easy access. It is beneficial for silent reading and whole class read aloud moments.

This is beneficial for students to have a constant visual of high frequency words in their line of vision throughout the day. It is also beneficial for teachers to use these high frequency words and point them out as well. Activities for practice, such as writing them in shaving cream, or sand will include multi-sensory activities as well.
