Product Description
"This book anchors shared reading as an essential element within a comprehensive and balanced literacy program."
Margaret Mooney
In this book, Brenda Parkes introduces new teachers to shared reading and helps experienced teachers revitalize this important teaching practice. Starting with the bedtime story, Read It Again! outlines the essential elements and benefits of shared reading and provides detailed examples which show how a shared reading session unfolds in the classroom.
By including examples of implicit and explicit teaching, Brenda demonstrates how shared reading helps children develop a range of strategies for reading and comprehending text. You will find detailed strategies that support learners in developing self-extending systems through their understanding of content and process and several examples of independent activities that consolidate and extend learning.
Good book selection is the key to successful shared reading experiences. In discussing the criteria for quality book selection, Brenda shows us how to critically assess the teaching and learning possibilities in shared reading books and how to use a variety of text types to model purpose, content, and form. The book includes an analysis of supportive text features for the different needs of emergent, early, and fluent readers. Annotated bibliographies provide a quick reference to quality books.
Read It Again! refines and extends our understanding of shared reading, and shows primary teachers how to put this valuable approach into practice.

Customer Reviews
I thought I knew everything about shared reading...
Brenda Parkes pushes our thinking about the practice of shared reading. Using poetry, traditional tales, contemporary fiction and non-fiction texts are just the beginning to a language-rich classroom supporting young readers and writers. Do you ever find yourself stuck in the 5 day cycle of shared reading? You have to read Chapter 4 to learn about the "3 text model." Brenda's questioning is brilliant as she gently guides children as they become strategic readers. She also guides us as we become strategic teachers! The "Author's Perspective" pages support our understanding of how her big books were developed. This is a must have resource. You will change your thinking about shared reading - guaranteed!
Great reference for balanced literacy!
As a reading specialist, I am always looking for new ways to address balanced literacy. Brenda Parkes writes this easy to follow book for teachers in grades K-3 to help them understand the foundations of shared reading and incorporating it into their classrooms. The reference guide in the back of the book is great! It presents lists of both narrative and nonfiction books along with strategies and skills that can be taught with that title. This book is a must for any primary classroom attempting to incorporate balanced literacy.
Love it! Huge help!
This book has been a huge help in making my shared reading more engaging. As a first year kindergarten teacher, I wasn't sure what to do with the book after Tuesday. This book has given so many opportunities to engage my children. It was recommended to me by my literacy coach. I'm so glad I bought it.
