The read aloud can be used to engage the student listener while developing background knowledge, increasing comprehension skills, and fostering critical thinking. A read aloud can be used to model the use of reading strategies that aid in comprehension.” ESIP http://www.esiponline.org/classroom/foundations/reading/readalouds.html
