Reading Aloud

I can remember when I was growing up reading aloud was a daily routine. We each had to read aloud to one family member for atleast fifteen minutes per day. I never understood my parents rationale until I grew older. Reading aloud aids in developing a passion for reading and shoud be continued throughout your life. When we introduce read alouds to our students we need to include how we want to share it and why. This will foster a routine and interest in not only our students but will aid in becoming more aware of our own interest.
