 Teacher: Think Aloud
• As I read this book, I will pause every few
pages to ask questions. I will look for the
answers as I continue reading. I can ask
questions using words like What? or Where?
 Teacher: Think Aloud
• At the beginning of the book, I read that we
are going to see many shapes. I ask: Which
shapes will we see first? I find my answer on
pages 6-7. We see circles first. There are many
circles at the park. As I read, I will keep asking
questions.
