Story Share Routine

During story share students utilize strategic partnering to practice reading for the purpose of practice to become fluent. There is preparation needed to teach the routines of paired reading and story sharing with students. Those steps involve teaching students to interact with each other and management routines. Using the story share routine, students learn to summarize text. Summarization has a high effect size (es .79) . Teaching students to recall, recount, retell, paragraph shrink in order to summarize is useful in academic speaking and writing.
