I think you can adapt "read aloud research" to your "listening to reading research". True, you don't get the FULL benefit of a live read aloud (predicting, thinking aloud, turn and talks, etc) but you get most everything else. I found this page online which would support your classroom: http://www.libsci.sc.edu/ccbl/abworkshops/ReadAloudResearch.pdf

I know is one of the five components of the Daily 5. My students have been listening to books online and they are obsessed about it. I am glad that they are enjoying this activity, however, I don't have sufficient information on how it benefits their reading. I would love to hear your research, ideas or opinions. Thank you. _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive Margie Jones, MLS Media Specialist South Street School 129 South Street Danbury, CT 06482 _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list Mosaic@literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org Search the MOSAIC archives at http://snipurl.com/MosaicArchive
