Carnegie Read aloud

Today in class we watch a teacher on the Carnegie website have a read aloud as a whole group. She engage the students with text to text connections. With the samiliar authors and asked children what kind of text to text connections did they make. She then had the students turn to a partner and discuss for about a minute about any connections they have made. Text to text connections is great way in having students have familiar storylines and have knowledge. Read alouds are very important for all grade levels. In chapter 10 read alouds discuss that they should be interesting to the reader. Ms. Pickett discusses the classics and reading different versions of Shakespears, "Romeo Juliet and Hamlet."
