If your child is practicing their reading out loud they may become hesitant to read due to fear of making mistakes or not knowing the words on the page. A good way to remove or lessen this fear is to make it into more of a fun experience by giving them a toy microphone to do their reading. The use of the microphone introduces a fun element and can reduce the anxiety over making mistakes. There are toy microphones that can make your voice sound different which children (and adults) enjoy! Another option is to make a home made one with fun decorations, glitter etc.
