Shared Reading.....UGH!!

Alright I need some tips. We have to do Shared reading every day for 1/2 hour in our classroom. I got observed today doing it and I found out I've been doing it all year WRONG!! My literacy coach said it is thinking out loud. You never ask the kids any questions or have them find words that rhyme or a certain skill. She said it is basically reading a book to the class but telling them exactly what you're thinking as you're  reading. She demonstrated this for my class. My class tried to participate but she told them no, it's my turn to tell you what I'm thinking. I have searched the Internet for shared reading ideas and all of the ones I have came across are nothing like she told me shared reading is. Does anyone have any tips? Or knows of any great shared reading lessons on TPT. I would like to find some that are thinking out loud strategies.

Two Truths and a Lie Linky party

I'm linking up with Flying into First Grade for her fun linky, two truths and a lie.

So here are mine:
1. I had chicken pox so bad I had to be hospitalized.
2. I stepped on a needle and had to have it surgically removed.
3. When I was almost 6 months pregnant I had a baby that survived.

In the comments leave which one you think is a lie. I'm excited to see what you think. Go link up too, if you haven't already!
