"Jump" Into Reading Comprehension Strategies With a Read Aloud

Through my modelling during our read aloud, I will teach our learners prosody (when oral reading sounds much like speech with appropriate phrasing, pause structures, stress, rise and fall patterns, and general expressiveness) along with strategies Good Readers use when they read. The Good Reader strategies include Check for Understanding, Ask Questions, Tune in to Interesting Words, Back Up and Reread, Use Prior Knowledge to Connect to Text, etc. and they were selected from The CAFE Book: Engaging All Students in Daily Literacy Assessment & Instruction Book by Gail Boushey and Joan Moser. I've selected this lesson because of the success my former students have had as readers as a result of the same combination of learning experiences when we shared them together in the classroom.
