Literacy Tip

Comprehension Strategy: "Active Listening"
The first part of every YES Reading session is devoted to the Read Aloud. Many students enjoy this time so much that it might easy to think that the students are not learning anything. The read aloud is indeed very important (see other literacy strategies to learn more about the read aloud). Here are a four ways to further engage your student as a more active participant, and will stimulate the different learning styles after the read aloud.
