Readalouding Tips

Parents

I've overheard parents in libraries or parks reading to their captivated children in dry monotones and run-on sentences, while the children look adoringly on. Why? Parents gets a pass when reading to their own child. Your child loves it when read to him; it's a happy secure experience of you, your voice and your love. So when reading to your own children how you read matters far less than that you read. However, if you want to have more fun reading the story the tips included in our reviews are intended to help you.

Librarians and Teachers

As a librarian or teacher reading aloud to a group of children the bar is much higher than it is for parents reading one-to-one.

The more involved you are – the more varied your pitches, expressions, volume, and differentiated your characters – the more engaged your audience.
