Shared reading is a community experience in which all children look at, read, and discuss the same text together. Through shared reading, children have the opportunity to engage in the reading process with texts that may be beyond their ability to read independently. Participants in this seminar will explore ways to use shared reading to build community as well as expand children's ability to read and process text in Spanish. Participants will learn how to use The Fountas & Pinnell Continuo de la lectoescritura to identify goals to observe and teach within the shared reading context. This seminar can be presented in either English or Spanish.
