Bookmarked Who should read aloud in class? (The Confident Teacher)

Professor Diane Lapp, from San Diego State University, in the categorically titled, ‘If you want students to read widely and well – Eliminate ‘Round-robin reading’, suggests the following approaches:

1. Repeated reading, which involves repeating a reading modelled first by the teacher or another proficient reader.
2. Choral reading, which means reading together with others who are proficient readers.
3. Echo reading, or the student echoing or repeating what the proficient reader has just read.
4. Readers’ Theatre involves a dramatic reading of a text or script by the students.
5. Neurological impress, which involves the student and teacher reading together while tracking words.

Alex Quigley questions the practice of popcorn reading and instead focus on more fluent reading strategies.
