How to use choral reading
Choose a book or passage that works well for reading aloud as a group:
Patterned or predictable (for beginning readers)
Not too long
At the independent reading level of most students
Provide each student a copy of the text so they may follow along. (Note: You may wish to use an overhead projector or place students at a computer monitor with the text on the screen)
Read the passage or story aloud and model fluent reading for the students.
Ask the students to use a marker or finger to follow along with the text as they read.
Reread the passage and have all students in the group read the story or passage aloud in unison.
