How to read interactively?
There are many ways to move children from passively listening to a
book read aloud to actively engaging with the content of the book,
whether it’s a fictional story or a factual book. Your techniques will vary
depending on the book itself, the size of the group and the age of the
children, as indicated by the age-level codes following each
suggestion.
First, try some general good practices for keeping
children’s attention.
▪ Share your enjoyment of the book (B, T, P)
▪ Read with expression (B, T, P)
▪ Pause to allow time for children to understand, to allow them to join in
▪ Vary your pace—fast, slow
▪ Vary the pitch of your voice—high, low
▪ Vary your volume—loud, soft
▪ Use different voices for different characters
▪ For babies, use “parentese” -a clear, high pitched voice with elongated vowels (B)
Show how books work.
▪ Play with orientation of book-holding it upside-down or backwards (T, P)
▪ Point to text and connect it to illustrations (B, T, P)
▪ Talk about role of author and illustrator (P)
