If a student gets hooked during a read aloud, then the student is more likely to pick up a similar book on their own. A read aloud is a fantastic way to help steer these reluctant readers toward certain books, genres, and authors. Many of us (well- maybe all of us!) have third-grade reluctant readers. Read alouds also improve fluency for students, which is something that often suffers in older grades as we move away from guided reading. Hearing the spoken language and the correct pauses on a comma or period is positively impacting a student and their language development. Students will gain the benefits of hearing language and vocabulary, as well as getting an exposure to a new author or genre.
