Think+Aloud

Think Aloud Strategy (Davey, 1983)
[|What is it? Why is it important? and how can you model it?]

Skillful readers unconsciously use a range of strategies to make meaning from text. The think aloud strategy involves modeling these strategies by "thinking aloud" while reading and responding to a text. By making explicit for students what is implicit for more expert readers, it becomes possible for students develop and apply these strategies themselves. []
