Why Read Aloud? • Read alouds are powerful because they serve so many instructional purposes—to motivate, encourage, excite, build background, develop comprehension, assist children in making connections, and serve as a model of what fluent reading sounds like. During a read aloud, a teacher reads a text aloud, and students are enveloped in a risk- free learning environment that removes the pressure of achievement and the fear of failure, allowing the freedom to wonder, question, and enjoy material beyond their reading abilities. -Leadership Compass, Spring 2008 What are we teaching in a read aloud?
