How can you effectively use read–alouds in your already busy school day? The "must know" critical guidelines for the best read-alouds ever are outlined and backed with research. This chapter also features a wealth of motivating strategies, from Laminack and Wadsworth's (2006) six types of read-alouds, to The 7 Times a Day Read-Aloud Challenge, to filling Mystery Literacy Boxes (Pearman, Camp, Hurst, 2004). You'll also find a handy bookmark with discussion starters for partners to use when they turn and talk during an interactive read-aloud, as well as Lights, Camera, Listen, an engaging lesson on using senses during reading.
