Reading aloud to students is incredibly important for students to be able to retain the information. It has been proven in numerous studies presented in articles that students learn better with discussion and interaction with one another. Vygotsky put this theory into place. Read alouds offer students a chance to interact with the characters in the book. The teacher can vividly take read alouds a step further by doing character impersonations. With any read aloud the teacher should adjust her voice to fit the characters and allow a think aloud for the students to interact with one another and predict or infer the story as they follow in the book. Students enjoy attentive teachers who take joy in their reading which instills reading habits for their students as well.

Author Profile

Eric Carle has wrote amazing books that my son absolutely adores. I read one of his books at least every night. The most familiar books is Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See?. The books are in a literature cycle. They begin where they end, which is one concept that can be crossed with other subjects such as science and the water cycle, or music, such as a song.
