Instructions (You are picking the read aloud book and I will present the lesson that you plan)
The focus of an interactive read aloud is to model for children how a more capable reader uses different strategies and information sources to process and comprehend text. It is also an opportunity to guide children’s use of those strategies and information sources (e.g., the words, pictures, their own background knowledge).

Our purpose for this interactive read aloud lesson plan will be to have children engage in the comprehension strategy of prediction.
You will introduce a culturally relevant fiction text and activate children’s background knowledge with the text. You’ll emphasize the text’s words and illustrations as important information with which to make meaningful connections and support their predictions. This will help foster active listening of a text to comprehend its meaning.
You will model how to make a prediction, change/build on an existing prediction, and confirm predictions about that text.
In your plan, you will also guide children’s practice children’s use of the strategy, including how to make a prediction, change/build on an existing prediction, and confirm predictions while reading that text.
You will assess children’s knowledge of the text after reading.

An interactive read aloud is one of the first steps in helping students take responsibility for their learning. You will be using the gradual release of responsibility throughout this interactive read aloud lesson plan, as you will both provide a model of a more capable reader processing text and provide space guided practice with students.
