Molly Ness Virtual Event for MLA
by Sarah Valter
Think alouds are a practice many of us embrace in theory but struggle with in practice. The art of articulating your thoughts to advance the comprehension of young readers may seem daunting, but no one makes this practice more accessible than Dr. Molly Ness. In a little more than an hour, Dr. Ness brought this practice–both the theory and the application–to a virtual audience of Missouri Literacy Association members and colleagues in September.
The entire presentation was full of helpful information and practical tips, but for those who missed this event here are just a few:
When teachers say we are teaching comprehension, we are often actually just assessing students’ understanding of a text.
Think alouds are an evidence-based approach to teaching and improving comprehension.
Think alouds must be planned in advance, using a high quality text that will prompt authentic thinking from the teacher and engagement from a group of young learners.
Think alouds involve a teacher intentionally modeling his or her thoughts throughout a text, bringing in a broad range of comprehension
strategies to demonstrate the metacognitive work that readers must do.
