It is okay to be silly! Children love silly and it makes the book interesting. Have fun, change your voice, or get a puppet. Act out the book. In the example below you will see me reading a book that I have read to the students more times than I can count. I started off sitting in my chair, talking about the pictures and the vocabulary. Next, I showed them the body movements as I read and we talked about sequencing. Finally, I encouraged the kids to 'read' the book with me, which is how we read the book from that moment on!
