AbstractThis teaching tip describes a translanguaging read‐aloud protocol. In a translanguaging read‐aloud, teachers and students interact with a text (either a bilingual text or a monolingual one) in multiple languages. Teachers plan explanations, questions, and other interactions in multiple languages to amplify and clarify the text. Teachers can adapt these read‐alouds to different purposes such as blending languages in a read‐aloud to accommodate a mix of linguistic backgrounds in the same class or using a more familiar language to make a text written in a less familiar language comprehensible to students.
