Reading Aloud, shared and guided reading & Writting



Chapter 13 is strictly about children literacy in the classroom. The chapter breaks down into four different components the teacher may use with the students in a particular class. The components are: reading aloud, writing aloud, shared reading and guided reading.  Each component is detailed enough to guide the teacher to successfully complete this type of teaching technique.
Reading aloud is a type of teaching style that many teachers choose to do so, and with doing so this style has so many successful benefits for the students in the classroom.  Teachers must keep in mind while completing this type of activity when to read aloud, what to read aloud and how to read aloud. Each part of this style is detailed and broken down so that the opportunity for success is presented.
Writing aloud is another component that is detailed in the chapter and teachers must keep in mind when and what to write aloud and how to write aloud. “Writing aloud can make the complicated, invisible process of composing visible to children so that they can recognize and adopt these strategies as their own (Pg395)”. Shared reading the teachers must decide when and what to read during shared reading time, how to conduct shared reading. For instance shared reading should be conducted as a part of the daily reading instruction and can be also used for content are instruction as well.
Guided reading is the last components the books speak of that teachers are incorporating in today’s classrooms. Even though this type of teaching technique has disappeared teachers must keep in mind the benefits behind the technique,  what the children need to be reading during the guided technique and when and how to conduct guided technique teaching. In conclusion of this chapter the main objectives are to inform teachers of how to incorporate these types of teaching techniques in the classroom, which can improve the student reading performance.
Shared reading is the last component that was developed by Don Holdaway. In this type of structure in today's classroom shared reading is a time  where books can be read aloud to students in the classroom to help support all types of reading development. The important benefits that were mention in this chapter from this type of structure is that "shared book experience produced statistically superior impacts on all measures of reading proficiency (Pg 397)". The teacher must keep in mind when and what to read during shared reading  and how to conduct shared reading time.
