Yokohama JALT:

More Than Storytime: Interactive Read-Alouds That Spark Thinking and Feeling!

Date: Sunday, July 19th, 2026 Time: 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Alison Hasegawa (Rikkyo University)

Description:
This workshop will introduce participants to essential aspects of picture books and show how they collaborate or complement each other to weave magic. After this, a simple three-stage framework for interactive read-alouds, including pre-reading, during-reading, and post-reading phases, will be modelled. Emphasis will be placed on participants noticing and then developing effective questioning techniques, as well as linking engaging extension activities, such as drawing, writing, craft, and drama, that support language development and critical and creative thinking.
