Think-aloud involves making one’s thought audible that improves students’ comprehension both when students themselves engage in the practice during reading and when teachers routinely think aloud while reading to students (Duke & Pearson, 2002). In particular, teacher think-aloud is a form of teacher modelling for demonstrating effective comprehension strategies. The teacher needs to have a sound understanding and skill in order to demonstrate to students about what good readers do and how they do it when they read, and choose when and when not to apply the comprehension strategies. Additionally, teacher think-aloud is beneficial for the students who acknowledge what the strategies are, but having difficult to understand how to adopt them in their reading.
The videos below are good examples for beginning teachers to learn how to model “Think-aloud” strategy to show students about what good readers do and how they do it when they read.
