School Wide Shared Reading Period

     In shared reading, the teacher, as an expert reader, models the reading process by reading the text to the learners.  The teacher demonstrates the use of clues and strategies which support interpretation and evaluation.  Learners have opportunities to join in with the reading, and thereby become confident in using these strategies independently. 

     At Clearlake, we model this concept every day during our homeroom.   If you walk around during 1st period you will see students actively engaged in their novel as the teacher reads aloud to them. We have chosen to read Alane Ferguson's young adult forensic novels with an author visit as the culminating event.  For more information about the author and her books please visit her website at http://www.alaneferguson.com/  or check out the links to the right of this page.
