Shared Reading is a playful literacy experience in which children are engaged in reading poetry, rhymes, and children’s literature. The children are gaining knowledge about letter sounds, self correction of words, directional conventions on how to turn pages, that print is read from left to right, as well as from top to bottom, letter sound associations, punctuation, predicting text, and intonation patterns while participating in this fun activity. This experience is pleasurable to children and allows them to be successful in reading, which provides them with the desire to experiment with reading and writing at other times.
