Read alouds and shared reading

The article in my opinion beat examples to death. I felt like the article was very repetitive and to be honest I was tired of reading the same material over and over. The things discussed in the article are very important to developing a good reader. Throughout my clinical experience I have not seen teachers engage students in read alouds or shared reading. The article discussed how teachers should not allow students to view the teachers because they will answer questions based on the pictures they see. I noticed this today when I was in clinicals and as I was reading the book to my tutor student, he was relying on the pictures to answer the questions I was asking him as I was reading. I noticed this very quickly and I can thank this article for that. I never thought about this before, I thought the pictures were just a fun part of the book. Most of the things discussed in this chapter I was familiar with thanks to Mrs. Walker from intermediate block. Now the book was equally as boring to read, but I found several things interesting. The first thing that really struck me was when I was reading how the math teacher used math literature books to help students review for a final. I never read anything other than a math book in math class. The same goes for history and science. I do not think people understand how powerful literature can be in classes other than the language arts. Literature can be a fun way to get students involved in the learning.
The only question I had from the reading is "What is the most effective read aloud strategy?"
