Which term describes a collaborative reading activity where teacher and students read together and discuss?

• A. Shared Reading
• B. Read Aloud
• C. Audiobooks
• D. Modeling Reading/Writing

Answer: (A)

Shared reading is a collaborative reading activity in which the teacher and students read a text together and discuss it as they go. The teacher selects an accessible text (often a big-book or chart), models fluent reading and strategy use, and invites students to join in with reading parts, pointing to text, and contributing ideas. This shared participation builds decoding and fluency while also fostering comprehension through questions, predictions, and vocabulary discussion. Read Aloud is when the teacher reads the text aloud to students, with discussion usually happening after or sporadically during the read, but the students are not actively reading along. Audiobooks involve listening to a recorded reading rather than an in-person, joint reading activity. Modeling Reading/Writing focuses on the teacher demonstrating reading and writing strategies, often for didactic purposes, with students observing rather than participating in a shared reading experience.
