How to Read Aloud



In preparation for our trip to the Monroe County Public Library, I listened to the read aloud lesson on the Mem Fox website. Listening to the lesson really helped me understand how to read aloud, and the speaker gave me a lot of helpful information on how to read aloud well. For instance, it is important to maintain enthusiasm and be expressive as possible when reading aloud. Furthermore, you should not use a patronizing voice that makes it seem like you're talking down to children. There are multiple things we can do to our voices for a read aloud: high and low, loud and soft and pausing are just a few. One thing that stood out to me was the statement, what we love, our listeners will love. When we present something with excitement to children they will reciprocate the feeling.
