Shared Reading Lesson and Reflection

The shared reading lesson uses the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Before reading, the teacher discusses text features with the students and has them identify parts of the book. During reading, the teacher points to letters and illustrations as the class reads along, pausing for repetition and familiar words. After reading, there is an optional activity where students cut out their names and glue them to a coconut tree page related to the story. The reflection notes that the book is developmentally appropriate and the lesson encouraged student participation during reading. It recommends continuing shared readings with this book over a week before doing the after reading activity.

Shared Reading Lesson

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom


Objective: Students will build fluency and expression
through shared reading with the class.

Before reading: Teacher will discuss text features. Students


will identify the front of the book, the back of the book, the
spine, the title page, and the location of the author and
illustrator. Students will be chosen individually to go to the book
and point out each feature.

During reading: The teacher will begin the shared reading by


asking students to read along. This is a familiar text that most
students should be able to participate in reading. As the teacher
and the class reads, the teacher will point to the letters and tell
the story by pointing to the illustrations. The teacher will pause
on repetitive words and familiar letters to let the students read.
The students will actively participate in reading along with the
teacher, especially when the teacher pauses for them to read.

After reading: If time permits, students will participate in an


extended activity relative to the story that supports them in
counting and learning their names. Students will cut out their
names and glue them on a coconut tree. At the bottom of the
page, it will say “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, will there be enough
room? _____ has _____ letters in her name.”
Shared Reading Reflection
This lesson featured the whole group shared reading of, Chicka Chicka, Boom Boom. I

think that this was the perfect text to use for a shared reading lesson. Since it is a child

development classroom, the book’s focus on letters and repetitive phrases is developmentally

appropriate. The students were somewhat familiar with the story already, but throughout the

reading, they were able to catch on to the pattern quickly. While reading, I paused on the familiar

and repetitive words to encourage student participation. I paused for them to say the letters that I

was pointing to and “chicka chicka, boom boom.” Each time I paused, the students (very

enthusiastically) helped me finish the sentence. At the end of the story, students enjoyed it so

much that they asked if we could read it again. If I were the teacher in this classroom, I would do

shared readings with this book a few more times. Each time, I would expect the students to

become more and more familiar with the text and contribute to the reading more. After reading it

for about a week, I would then allow students to do the after reading activity. I did not get to it in

this lesson, but it is an effective way to end the study of the book. The activity makes the book

relative to students as they must think about the letters in their name on the coconut tree.

Comprehensively, this lesson was effective. When planning for future shared reading

instruction, I would plan for about a week to be involved with one text and be sure to choose

developmentally appropriate books for students to ensure participation in the reading. This

lesson provided the perfect introduction to a continuous shared reading with the book, Chicka

Chicka, Boom Boom.
