Why shared reading and interactive reading aloud makes a difference • Children love a good story and the attention of being read to personally. • Children feel involved in the action and they even forget that it is a formal teaching situation. • Comprehension is almost immediate, with instant clarification and support from the teacher. • As children observe and listen they develop strategies for listening and speaking in different situations. • Helps to teach frequently used vocabulary. • Encourages initiative in the form of making predictions and connections, observing, clarifying, asking questions, making comments, entering a story world and using their own imagination. • Provides support for children struggling to read alone. HELBLING Big Books make reading a fun experience while being a powerful tool for language learning. Maxi-format illustrations captivate any class or group and enlarged text allows children to see and follow words as they are pointed to and read by the teacher. HELBLING Big Books bring reading to life for all children in your classes. They are an ideal way to make reading a shared experience and fun group situations will then help develop confident and motivated individual readers.
