Reading Aloud

Season 2023 Episode 4

When you read aloud to children, they learn how to distinguish different sounds and words. This helps them build their vocabulary and understand how words are pronounced. When children hear stories read aloud and see their teacher and peers enjoying books, they are more likely to want to read on their own.
