Read Aloud

Thinking about the award winners, reminded me of how much children enjoy hearing a story read aloud. Showing the illustrations is an integral part of sharing the story. We have a Library guide for ECCE 2115 Language and Literacy with a link to a video series, 'how to tell a story'.

It takes practice to know the story well enough that you can make eye contact with the audience.
It takes practice to hold the book just right so you can read the words and the children can see the illustrations.
It takes practice.

Check out our ECCE 2115 Library guide for ideas on what to read as well as hints on how to share the story!
