WHY ? Stimulates their imaginations and emotions. Models good reading behaviour. Exposes students to range of literature. Enriches their vocabulary. Makes difficult texts understandable. Supports independent teaching. It provides the teacher with a means of
assessing whether her students are actually reading. (meaningful reading).
It provides opportunities for your students to practice the three core elements of literacy instruction decoding, vocabulary and fluency.

MY TIPS Stimulate interest. Provide a few key points to contextualise the
story for your learners. Provide a few vocabulary words that are
important for comprehension Visual stimuli really help Don’t stop too much and ask questions it
disturbs the flow. Practice practice practice
