They say children become readers on their parents' laps. As a teacher, I say if they haven't become a reader yet- THAT is my goal. In my classroom, in my library, on the rug- with a good book. When was the last time you were read to? Or the last time you read aloud a picture book? Maybe these questions prompt you to think fondly of memories with a parent and a favorite bedtime story or maybe your own childhood teacher doing a crazy voice for an offbeat character. If you're an adult who loves reading chances are you were read to often as a child. Read aloud help to develop students' foundational literacy skills, build their vocabulary, model reading fluency, and expression. They expose them to new genres and text structures, content, the list goes on... When done well, a read-aloud can provide an imaginative escape, develop empathy and compassion, promote social-emotional thinking. A good book makes you want to pick up another good book. Whether students are in my classroom out back on the class library rug or in their homes with me on a screen, the read-aloud will help develop connections with my students and among their peers. Having common texts to discuss, write about, and engage with will create our own community of readers who can't wait to pick up that next read.
