Molly Ness recorded this presentation for our Sharing Best Practice conference in Auckland in July 2024. Molly's book, Read Alouds for All Learners: A Comprehensive Plan for Every Subject, Every Day, Grades PreK–8, is supported by current research and personal experiences, demonstrates the sobering effect an absence of Read-Alouds in classrooms has on students’ comprehension skills. She provides intentional directions on planning and implementing a read-aloud routine that supports young learners’ literacy development, content-area knowledge, social-emotional learning, and academic achievement.
