- By reading books out loud every day, teachers introduce students to higher-level texts and new vocabulary, while modeling deeper thinking and strong discussion skills.

In Brooklyn, an elementary school called P.S. 249, the Caton School, has a 15-20-minute block of daily read-aloud time in every classroom, kindergarten through 5th grade. Teachers select a book that’s just above their students’ reading level-and related to the current unit of study in social studies or English Language Arts-and read it to their class. But this is no typical read aloud. All along the way, the teachers model good reading skills, as well as how to think critically and analyze text.
Every three days, when a new book is introduced, the class reads the back cover, looks at the artwork, and makes predictions. Over the next few days, teachers read small sections of text to the group, stopping every few minutes to pose questions and encourage the students to consider the setting (or characters, or plot elements). Questions start out asking for basic information about what the students heard, but build towards to higher-level analytical questions about what might happen in the story or the characters’ motivations. During turn and talks, the students discuss particular passages in pairs while the teacher roams around observing, and each lesson ends with a stop and jot where students answer a prompt using printed copies of the text to find evidence.
As the days progress, teachers model less and have students do more of the thinking and analyzing themselves-which empowers students to become more critical and capable readers when they go to read on their own.

What I think we must concern about problems to get the solution not about the person. So nice effort, even every one has pros & cons😊
Excellent
Barack Obama! Great role model for kids of color! I like how the activity think pair share is called turn and talk. Taking turns is apparently something that doesn't come naturally these days. The stop and think aloud is something I want to try with my classes. Thank you for sharing!
I noticed they're using pencil and manuscript writing in grade 4. When I was a grade 4 student (1968-1969) I had to use ink and cursive. Pencil was only allowed for math and some other special exceptions. Manuscript was a special exception. Everything was done in cursive and ink!
I m a teacher of English language for adults. Do u think that i can use this way with them?? I like it.
I don't see why not!
