It’s not only reading success that is impacted by reading aloud to children. Read alouds strengthen their social, emotional, and character development for success in life.

Reading aloud to early learners models fluent and expressive reading, models the reading process, facilitates comprehension for English language learners, provides interactions with a variety of texts, helps children make connections, stimulates participation, and encourages sharing of children’s thoughts. View this session to learn ways to introduce and build vocabulary, and what to do before, during, and after a read aloud. As you will see, it’s beneficial to have a read-aloud strategy for effective learning.

This recorded edWebinar is of interest to early childhood teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders.
