Importance of Shared Reading
First Graders and Reading
Letter Sound Relationships– learning how to decode new words by applying the letter-sound relationship for single
letters, pairs of letters, such as sh or er, and short and long vowel patterns, such as the silent e
Reading for Meaning– First graders learn to derive meaning from what is read to her and what she reads. Students
can recognize the sequence of events in a story, and their cause and effect, as well as make predictions.
Read Aloud– Listening to books read aloud gives first-graders models of fluent reading and helps them
develop a positive attitude toward books. It also helps them understand vocabulary and language patterns in texts
Shared Reading
• What is shared reading?– Shared reading is an interactive reading experience.
Students join in the reading of a big book, poem, song, or article, with enlarged text that the whole class can see, guided by the teacher. During the reading, children are actively involved. The teacher may pause in the reading to introduce print conventions, teach vocabulary, introduce a reading skill, encourage the students to predict what comes next, and more. The book, poem, song, or article is read multiple times over several days.

Poems
Fall is here
Fall is piles of crunch leaves
orange, gold, and red.
Fall is a sweater with long sleeves,
and blankets on the bed.
Fall is football,
Fall is pumpkins,
Fall’s where summer ends.
Poem
Popcorn
Pop pop popcorn,
Popping in the pot.
Pop pop popcorn,
Eat it while it’s hot!
Pop pop popcorn,
Butter on the top.
When I eat popcorn
I can’t stop!

From every mountain side
