Think Aloud p.119
I really like the Think-Aloud strategy. I think this could be very effective in after school tutoring sessions for those who are struggling readers. The think aloud strategy allows the reader to make connections outloud and also allows the student to analyze how he is thinking about his reading. This helps the teacher see how the student's brain is working, and can possibly help them find a solution to the problem that the reader is having. Once the problem is identified it is only a matter of helping the student realize how he can solve this problem. In order for this process to truly work though you have to set some guidelines to how the process works. This can be done by modeling a think aloud in front of them, but also students must realize that they will constantly be stopping throughout the text to ensure that they understand what is going on in the book.
