Which strategy may use big books with enlarged text while the librarian reads aloud as children follow along?

• A. Guided Reading
• B. OPAC
• C. Interactive Read Aloud
• D. Color overlays

Answer: (C)

Shared reading with expressive modeling, using a big book that has enlarged text, is designed for students to follow along as the teacher reads aloud. In this approach, the librarian selects a text that all kids can see clearly, and as the reader voices the story, students track the words with their eyes and participate through questions, predictions, and comments. This live reading plus guided discussion helps kids develop fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension while reinforcing how print works—left to right, words on a page, and how pictures support meaning. The large print makes the print concepts visible to everyone, which is especially helpful for early readers and struggling readers. This matches Interactive Read Aloud, where the focus is on reading aloud with ongoing interaction and support. It’s different from Guided Reading, which centers on small-group, level-based independent reading rather than a whole-class read-aloud; OPAC is just the library catalog search tool, and color overlays are a separate aid for tracking or readability, not a read-aloud strategy.
