Reading at Key Stage 2| Teaching Student Teachers How to Use Shared Reading as a Positive Teaching Strategy
Non-fiction text
In a real sense being able to locate, evaluate and act upon information is linked to having power over our own lives. (Wray, 1994: 74)
Shared reading can be used to:
- analyse critically the reading demands of a KS2 non-fiction text. Use Resource B: Guidelines for the analysis of non-fiction texts (or student teachers can work in pairs on the same task and share findings)
- model reading online text( IWB) and show student teachers how to demonstrate to children what is involved in focused, effective, critical reading of such online text (English and ICT; Burnett, Merchant and Myers, 2007)
- model the use of the Extending Interactions with Texts (The Exit model) research process (Lewis and Wray, 1997a)
‘KWL’ or ‘KWFL’ grids
Details of this, its use and alternative grids are available on the Library Primary Launch Pad /Study Skills site Library Primary Launch Pad / Study Skills on the Oxford Brookes University website (Lewis and Wray1997b).

- demonstrate how readers are constructed by the texts they read e.g.
- ask student teachers to analyse how connectives are used to influence thinking by linking ideas in particular ways;
- examine how the organisation of pictures and text affects their reading behaviour;
- ensure that they begin to recognise implicit ideologies and the need to teach critical reading.
