Learning the Strategy

Day 1:

  • On Monday, you will conduct Day 1 of Dialogic Reading. You introduce the book by telling the children the title, author, and illustrator and defining what the author and illustrator do.
  • Then you read the entire book, all the way through. This is the only time during the week that the children will hear the whole book being read.
  • Your main goal should be to read the entire narrative of the book so the children understand the story.

Now watch the following video as a VPK teacher plans her Dialogic Reading lesson. She will read the story to the children on Day 1 of the lesson.
