Interactive Read-Alouds: Making Literacy Learning Come Alive

This course outlines how to weave Creative Drama strategies (such as narrative pantomime, guided imagery, and spotlighting, among other techniques) into read-alouds. These kinesthetic techniques both deepen children's reading comprehension and inspire them to engage with literacy learning in a personalized, creative, joyful manner. Practical, easy-to-adapt resources (such as read-aloud suggestions and lesson plans, reading responses, videos of interactive read-aloud techniques, and student work examples) will be shared with participants after each session.
