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. Attend 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 edWebinar will interest early childhood teachers, librarians, and school and district leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
