Children can often understand texts that are read to them well before they can read them themselves. Consider taking turns reading different parts of each book. When you read aloud, use emotion in your voice. It makes people more interested in what you are reading. As you read together, look closely at the illustrations and talk about what they tell you. Pause when you read a book aloud to talk about what's happening, people's wonderings and questions, or what might happen next. Encourage listeners to make up pictures in their mind about what they are hearing in a story. They can draw the pictures of what they 'saw" and share them after you finish reading. You don't have to read a book from beginning to end in one sitting. If people seem restless, take a break, or continue at another time.
