Why Read aloud? Reading aloud with students help introduce students to a variety of literature, helps them develop a richer vocabulary, helps children develop imagination and creativity, and helps them learn more about the world around them. Reading aloud to students also promotes emerging literacy and language development.
Every day sixth grade students at Jericho Middle School, in Jericho New York, come to the library during their lunch period to listen to books read aloud. Mrs. Kearon, the librarian, has read Hatchet and Brian's Winter by Gary Paulsen, followed by Everything on a Waffle by Polly Horvath. After that, the group listened to several recorded books including Freak, the Mighty by W. R. Philbrick, Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell, and Aliens Ate My Homework by Bruce Coville.
Read Aloud Reading Rotation
In addition to read alouds in the library, teachers can take part in a “reading rotation” much like the one described at Valley View Elementary in the PowerPoint presentation Programing 2011. Teachers can select a favorite book appropriate to a particular grade level and each day they will be assigned to a different class in which to read the story of their choice. Schools can develop their own unique “reading rotation” that suits their needs. Even have some of the older students participate in reading the stories to the younger grades!
