Building Strong Readers is all about providing readers with different opportunities to work on their reading skills and strategies.

Do we expect our students to go forth and read increasingly complex texts with little or no guidance? Of course, not!

Readers need a variety of reading experiences and encounters to help them build the skills and strategies of a proficient reader.

Read Aloud is the first type of encounter ALL readers should experience. Read Aloud is a model of what a proficient reader does while reading when planned with intention.

In this episode of Building Strong Authentic Reading Experiences, we will dive into why read aloud is important and planning with intention.

Here at Literacy Treasures, I LOVE to talk about reading and writing and share with teachers all that I've learned about what it takes to build strong readers and writers.  I have immersed myself in the research of Lucy Calkins, Stephanie Harvey, Debbie Miller, Carl Anderson, Gay Su Pinnell, Irene Fountas and so many others.  Every resource, strategy, tool, minilesson and teaching tip that is shared on Literacy Treasures is rooted in this research.
