Whole-Class Reading with Renaissance
Whole class reading is a fantastic opportunity to build reading skills and confidence within the classroom. It encourages whole-class discussion and allows students to share ideas, as well as learn from other students around them. By using Accelerated Reader and myON as a backdrop for whole-class reading and quizzing, most of the work has already been done for you – questions have been written and the answers are there to display to the class.

Whole-Class Reading – Resources
Benefits of Whole Class reading:
A teacher’s main objectives during Whole Class Reading is establishing the requisite skills, including modelling and questioning, introducing new vocabulary and encouraging children to ‘read between the lines’. As language matures and increases, their ability to ‘create a picture’, and in some cases, fill the background knowledge required to become competent incomprehension, is key.
The more a child gains from the content of a book, the more they will develop their inference and deduction skills, transferring this knowledge to future books. If this element of reading development is nurtured and supported, the child will begin to grow the skills required to interpret an author’s intent and the ability to pick up on nuance and contextual cues.
