chapter 11... shared reading article

From the many postings on Shared Reading that I have read from you guys, I take it you guys do not like shared reading. I was not in class that day when all of you did the shared reading. Shared reading is a collaborative learning activity. Shared reading is somewhat like read alouds. Of course one of the main reasons why you would do shared reading is the same reason for everything else, you want to provide an enjoyable reading experience to the students. I think shared reading is important just like the other types of reading. It allows the students to learn about new authors and reading can teach the students to better readers and writers.
