22. 22 Five ways Shared Reading benefits student learning. 1. It demonstrates fluent reading. 2. It provides a place where you introduce reading strategies through Strategy lessons-- Strategies That Work is a great source for this. 3. It encourages Accountable Talk -You can teach children how to state an opinion and defend it with others, without hitting someone. (Janet Allen said that!) 4. Because the teacher is reading, students are not at risk. 5. It promotes a gradual "release of responsibility model"* for readers. *Pearson, P. David, and Margaret C. Gallagher. 1983.
