Understanding the Reading aloud

In the application of the stages of reading aloud, an understanding of the steps is needed that need to be applied before doing this learning model. The steps that need to be prepared are:

Choose a text that is interesting enough to read aloud. Make sure the text is not too long.
Give a copy of the text to students/students. Mark points or issues that are interesting to discuss.
Split text by paragraph or otherwise.
Invite several students/students to read different sections of the text. As the reading progresses, stop at several places to emphasize the importance of certain points, to ask questions, or to give examples.
Give students time to discuss if they show interest in the point.
End the process by asking students what is in the text.
