Thinking and Noticing Reading Behaviours

When Children are actively listening


to and discussing a text, all of the
strategic actions are in operation.
Structure of Interactive Read-Aloud

Introduce the text – Engage student interest and activate thinking.

Read the text – Stop a few times to invite thinking and a brief conversation. Students may turn and talk in

pairs or threes, etc.

Discuss the text –Invite students to talk about the book. As students reflect on the meaning of the whole

text, guide them toward some of the key understandings and main messages of the text.

Revisit the text (optional) – You may want to revisit the book (on the same day or on subsequent days) to

reread it, or parts of it, so that students can notice more about how it is crafted and build a deeper meaning.

Respond to the text (optional) – Engage students in additional experiences to enhance their appreciation

and interpretation of the text, e.g., writing about reading, art, drama, and inquiry-based projects.
