10 Tips for Reading Aloud to Children
During these cold winter days, nothing is better than snuggling up with a good book and a warm drink. Below are some tips for those of you who read to children. They are based on Jim Trelease's "Thirty DO's To Remember when reading aloud".
- Remember: The art of listening is acquired.
- The first time you read a book, discuss the illustrations -including the cover and the endpages. Ask the child what they think the book will be about based on the pictures.
- Read slowly enough for the child to build mental pictures.
- Use plenty of expression, change your tone of voice and adjust your pace to fit the story. If you are reading to a child that can read - let them participate by reading some of the dialogue.
- Encourage involvement; invite the child to turn the pages.
- Ask "What do you think is going to happen next?"
- During repeat readings of a predictable book,stop at key phrases and allow the child to provide the words.
- If you can't finish a chapter, find a suspenseful spot at which to stop.
- Paper, crayons and pencils allow active children to keep their hands busy while listening.
- Reading aloud comes naturally to very few people. To do it with ease takes practice. It's worth it!
