Read alouds are a fun way to get children of all ages involved in reading. Even the older students like books to be read to them. In classrooms teachers can create an authors corner to get kids interested in different authors. With read alouds kids can participate in listening centers. Children can be asked to predict what they think will happen next, or how the story might end. We can also ask the students how they think a certain character felt or may be feeling in a certain situation. Read alouds open many doors of opportunity for classroom discussions and group activity. This is a wonderful way to instill the love of reading in our students.
