  1. Think-Alouds Instructional strategy: literacy and comprehension building

  2. Daily Learning Target • By the end of today’s professional development, I will be able to identify and apply key characteristics of Think-Aloud strategies as evidenced by connecting video demonstrations to teaching practices through group discussions and completing a graphic organizer.

  3. What are Think-Alouds? • Students harness and monitor their thinking processes. • Students use it for comprehension building, literacy development, and test taking strategies. • Teachers model it. Students can use it in groups and individually. • Revolves around metacognition (thinking about your thinking), applying it to comprehension and problem solving.

  4. Why are Think-Alouds effective? • Allows students to harness their “inner voice” when reading or engaging with content. • Helps students rationalize and provide evidence of how they derived a response or solution. • Think-Alouds can be applied to test taking skills, assisting in finding the best response.

  5. When can Think-Alouds be used? • Whenever reading textual material. • Whenever finding solutions to problems. • Whenever going through steps in a process or procedure. • Whenever attempting to find correct answers on tests.
