Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Ann Kennedy on behalf of Expert Village, and we'll be looking at how to teach a child to read using big books and read alouds. Book read aloud. Let's continue. I had to cut it in half even though I saw it first. Remember in our last read aloud, he had one beautiful piece of chocolate cake. And look what he had to do. He cut it in half so she could have some too. And our next page, let's turn the page and see what else happens. When I went fishing she said, what do you think she said? Let's say it together. Me too! Then she caught the biggest fish. There she is, does she look happy to you that she caught a much bigger fish than her brother? Yes she does. Let's turn the page and the next page says, I went to my secret treehouse. My little sister said, me too! Mom said I had to help her up. Let's turn the page. Can you read the picture and what do you think happened just by looking at the picture? If we picture read it, he looks upset. Let's look at the words and see what's happening. Every thing I do, my little sister says, me too! We're getting toward the end of the book and we're on page twenty-two. Today my little sister had a candy cane of her very own. Now we're going to find out how the story ends in our next session."
