Choosing a Read AloudChoosing a Read Aloud
• Background and interest of your children
• Length of the book
• Purpose or goal of book
![Page 15: Effective Read Alouds for Early Literacy](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110212/56813cda550346895da67ec3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
VocabularyVocabulary
![Page 16: Effective Read Alouds for Early Literacy](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110212/56813cda550346895da67ec3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
VocabularyVocabulary
New vocabulary includes unfamiliar words that children will need to understand for comprehension.
*This does not always mean the hardest words.
![Page 17: Effective Read Alouds for Early Literacy](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110212/56813cda550346895da67ec3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Remember…Remember…• When introducing vocabulary , encourage the children to say the word with
you. Ask them to say it again and then to a partner.
• If possible…create an image. Offer drawings, gestures, or dramatization. It moves the meaning of a new word from an abstract to concrete thought.
• Infuse targeted vocabulary throughout the day to provide sustained rehearsal.
• Develop context: Return to the place in the book where the word was encountered.
• Decontextualize: Extend the meaning of the word to a different content .

Choosing VocabularyChoosing Vocabulary• Choose 2-3 words per story• Choose words that might need clarification
so they don’t obstruct children’s comprehension
• Choose Tier 2 words: Words that characterize written text. Learners are less likely to run into these words as they listen to daily language.
• Choose words that will have the most ”mileage”

Too many strategies, too much new
vocabulary and too many questions will take away from the
book!
Choose carefully and purposefully!
