Whether you teach preschool or high school, reading aloud is an essential teaching practice that boosts learners’ literacy skills and helps to create and sustain a vibrant community of engaged learners.

But a successful read aloud experience doesn’t simply happen. It requires some forethought, planning, and insight into your learners. Maria Walther shows you how to get the most out of read alouds – plus, she offers a bonus online lesson based on a popular children’s book.

This On-Your-Feet Guide will help teachers:

  • Plan a read-aloud experience that promotes the joy of reading AND reinforces important skills
  • Select the right books, focusing on key vocabulary and considering learning targets, as well as honoring and reflecting the students in your classroom
  • Engage in a comprehension conversation using effective questioning techniques that spare conversation and deep thinking
  • Troubleshoot with specific strategies to overcome common hiccups

Use this guide to get kids excited about reading!

On-Your-Feet Guides (OYFGs) provide you with the ultimate “cheat sheet” to implement effective change in your classroom while in the moment of teaching. Designed for accessibility, and providing step-by-step guidance, the OYFGs are written by experts who take research-based practices and make them doable for the busy teacher.

Each On-Your-Feet Guide is laminated, 8.5”x11” tri-fold (6 pages), and 3-hole punched.

Use the On-Your-Feet Guides

  • When you know the “what” but need help with the “how”
  • As a quick reference to support a practice you learned in a PD workshop or book
  • To learn how to implement foundational practices
  • When you want to help your students learn a specific strategy, routine, or approach, but aren’t sure how to do it yourself
