Modelled+Reading

=Modelled Reading... =

In modelled reading, the teacher selects a text and reads it to the whole class.

The teacher reads from many different styles of writing and text types and models skilled reading behaviour such as:
 * Fluency
 * Phrasing
 * Intonation

The idea of modelled reading is for children to engage in more complex texts than they are able to read. By engaging with powerful literature and information texts, children begin to write and speak using figurative language, and may even begin to use complex sentence structures they have heard when the teacher reads aloud.
