Tapping the Power of Shared Reading in Pre-K

Tapping the Power of Shared Reading in Pre-K

Fri., April 9, 2021  •  9:00 A.M. - 2:30 P.M.

Participate virtually on April 9th, or purchase the recording* of the workshop to view at your convenience.

While reading aloud to students is a mainstay in many Pre-K classrooms, Shared Reading tends to be an untapped source of literacy learning for many Pre-K learners.  While much has been written about Shared Reading for kindergarten and first grade learners, sometimes Pre-K teachers are left wondering:

• Is Shared Reading appropriate for Pre-K?
• What could Shared Reading look like / sound like / feel like with my young learners?

If you are interested in learning how to tap the power of Shared Reading in Pre-K, this workshop may be for you!

Let’s explore the “nuts and bolts” of Shared Reading, including how to select texts for Shared Reading, the structure of Shared Reading (across multiple days), and the planning process. Shared Reading at the Pre-K level can support our young learners in several ways, including:

• Concepts of print
• Phonological awareness
• Letter / sound knowledge
• Vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and more! 

Perhaps most importantly, Shared Reading can support the development of a literacy-rich community of readers and thinkers. 

Join us for this day of learning, as we focus on a way to support our learners in playful and literacy-rich ways!
