Overview:

This informational material teaches educators how to perform a shared reading in the classroom. Shared Reading is an interactive reading experience that occurs when students join in or share the reading of a book or other text while guided and supported by a teacher.

The shared reading model often uses oversized books (referred to as big books) with enlarged print and illustrations
