Tools & Tips

The Rule of Three

Reading aloud affords teachers many opportunities to highlight strategies good readers use.

Thinking aloud – modeling and describing how a certain reading strategy enhances our reading – while reading aloud is a powerful tool for educators to employ. When selecting texts for thinking aloud, remember the “rule of three” while:

bullet Think aloud during only the first third of the text
bullet Think aloud only three times during a read aloud
bullet Think aloud in a third of all the texts you read aloud
