Diaglogic Reading the C-R-O-W-D Experience

The time on the clock and daily schedule shows its Storytime as the student moves the clothespin to the next activity.  Everyone is sitting on the large carpet rug with legs crosses and waiting for related Study book as written on lesson plan.

It is important, as one read stories to have students interactively involved in the storyline.  One technique created by Dr. Grover Whitehurst was Dialogic Reading and let’s take a closer look at the acronym C-R-O-W-d.  check out this clip to give you a better understand and implementation of this active participatory way of reading stories with students at https://youtu.be/EpmARhxerJs  (5:32).

Remember, pre-read the story book and write out questions and/or statements related to C-R-O-W-D on each label per page toward building student’s enjoyment of books, vocabulary, comprehension and other related literacy skills.  Also as the students pose questions, you may want to write those down as well to add at a later date for the book as well.   You can write the student’s responses on chart paper with their initials next to their question and/or statement for them to make association between verbal comments and printed words. 

Yes, for the books written on the lesson plan place label questions and/or statements on the pages that relate to C-R-O-W-D for interactive participatory reading experiences.  Knowledge is powerful.
