Shared Reading Beyond the Primary Grades
Janet Allen
Pembroke, 2002. ISBN 1-57110-332-5
Classroom Strategies Described:
• Strategic reading strategies across
subject areas (Chapter 5, pages
96-116)
• Three instructional approaches to
learning new words - incidental,
mediated, explicit (Chapter 4, pages
77-95)
• Assessment strategies with
observable indicators are described
for 8 knowledge areas as observable
evidence of effective reading habits
(pages 171-174)
• Selecting classroom texts and how to
judge the “considerateness” of
textbooks (p. 181)
• Determining whether students have
internalized thinking strategies when
reading independently (pages 182-
196)
Key Messages:
• Shared reading helps students read
and understand increasingly difficult
and specialized texts and acts as a
bridge to students’ independent
reading.
• Readers use many strategies to make
sense of what they are reading and
develop skill once the strategy
becomes automatic.
• It is essential to use a variety of texts
for shared reading.
• Shared reading furthers and supports
content learning by helping students:
make content connections; build back
ground knowledge for inquiry;
understand textbook structures;
internalize and apply content
vocabulary; and extend and synthesize
content knowledge.
Notable Quote(s):
“Many students move from one grade to the
next unable or unwilling to read. . . .”
“When we are all on the same page, all
readers have access to information and
knowledge - all readers have the
opportunity to develop skills and strategies
to create and shape the events of their own
lives.”
