Question 2

What are the main advantages of reading aloud, not only for young children but beyond primary grades? List some suggestions for effectively incorporating reading aloud into a literacy program.

Accepted Answer

Reading aloud demonstrates the joy of reading. One research study found that when teachers read to students every day, the vast majority of students said they enjoyed it, and many began or increased voluntary reading time at home. Some tips for reading aloud in the classroom include the following:
• Select books that you enjoy. Also ask students to suggest titles that they would like to hear read aloud.
• If your students change classes, read aloud at the beginning of the period so the bell doesn't interrupt the reading.
• Decide ahead of time how much time you will spend reading aloud. It could be 10 to 15 minutes, or longer.
• Shorter books work better than longer ones.
• Follow up with talks about books that students might enjoy reading.
• Be imaginative and creative in book selections. You might read picture or joke books on occasion.
• Read slightly above students' reading levels, but not too far.
• Prepare your reading in advance. Note difficult vocabulary that might have to be discussed. Also note stopping points.
• Set routines for reading aloud, so that you do it at a certain time and for a designated period of time.
• Read-alouds should be previewed to make sure they are appropriate.
