We will delve into strategies for enhancing read-aloud sessions by integrating critical thinking skills. Through the powerful technique of "Think Alouds," attendees will learn how to cultivate students' abilities in questioning, inferring, synthesizing, identifying author's purpose, and clarifying understanding, drawing from Molly Ness's seminal work, "Think Big With Think Alouds." The session will also guide educators through a structured three-step planning process aimed at crafting vibrant lessons that ignite students' creativity and engagement. Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your teaching practices and transform ordinary reading sessions into exhilarating adventures that inspire and challenge students to think critically!
