In fact, students who are read to are more motivated to read themselves\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/eric.ed.gov\/?id=EJ712297\">Blessing, 2005<\/a>).<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eric.ed.gov\/?id=EJ898741\">Zehr (2010)<\/a> reported that, \u201cteachers found by trial and error that reading aloud worked for adding interesting content or making literature come alive for students. And some educators say they read to their classes to model good reading, such as by asking comprehension questions as they go along.\u201d<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is always gratifying when research supports my predilections, but I\u2019ve been reading to older students \u2014 including adult learners \u2014 for as long as I\u2019ve been teaching. Partly, it\u2019s a failure of imagination: I loved being read to, cannot imagine anyone disliking it.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be clear: my childhood pleasure in hearing books aloud had nothing to do with lack of independent reading skills. As a small child, I would compete see how many pages I could read in a day. My record was 1,000. It was a 1,000 pages of the <em>Paddington Bear<\/em> series \u2014 not <em>War and Peace<\/em> \u2014 but the point is I read like a my life depended on it.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pleasure of being read to was something else. Books I could (and did) read myself were still a joy to hear read by my older sister, or one of my parents. We also tuned in to read-aloud radio programs, memorably <em>The Hitchhiker\u2019s Guide to the Galaxy<\/em> and <em>Jeeves and Wooster<\/em>.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">                                                           _______________<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes reading aloud so marvelous? And why should it be part of every literature and language teacher\u2019s repertoire?<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Andie Yellott<\/strong>, a lifetime English teacher, former Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth Writing Program supervisor and parent of a child with dyslexia, has this to say.<\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><p><strong>Should reading aloud be continued beyond reading competence?<\/strong><br\/>Absolutely. When my son was in fourth grade, I went in for one hour during lunchtime and read to his class. It was the highlight of the week, they told me. They loved it. They always wanted one more chapter.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>How did reading aloud support your son with dyslexia?<\/strong><br\/>He could not have gotten through school without me reading to him. I read everything, even the godawful high school health book. One of the advantages to reading aloud is you can springboard off into other paths, other conversations, which you wouldn\u2019t do if the kid was reading alone. And if you want a kid to do well on a standardized test, read, read, read.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>How did reading to your dyslexic son facilitate his communicative abilities?<\/strong><br\/>He\u2019s got a huge vocabulary. I\u2019d read to him, stop, ask what a word meant, try to figure it out contextually. Reading aloud made a difference. He thought he couldn\u2019t write; now, he\u2019s one of the best writers I know.<\/p><\/li><\/ol><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Yellott, I\u2019ve had lots of student enthusiasm for reading aloud. It is more than just fun, though. Reading aloud supports specific skills. Here are six benefits I\u2019ve observed in my classrooms.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.unsplash.com\/photo-1529070538774-1843cb3265df?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wzMDAzMzh8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxOHx8c3R1ZGVudHxlbnwwfHx8fDE2OTk3MjQ5MjZ8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080\" alt=\"woman reading book\"\/><\/figure><h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Teacher-led Reading<\/h1><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improve pronunciation<\/h2><div class=\"pullquote\"><p>Native and non-native speakers alike struggle with the whimsy of English pronunciation. <\/p><\/div><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In extreme cases, this can lead to students understanding spoken words but not being able to identify them in print, or vice versa. Reading aloud while students follow along in a text is a straightforward way to ensure that kids are matching the right groupings of letters to the sounds they hear. This is especially important for those who struggle with reading and\/or are learning English as an additional language.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Build vocabulary<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When students are reading independently it is difficult to gauge how well they comprehend individual words. Students may grasp the main idea of a text but miss important vocabulary. As Yellott said, reading aloud is an opportunity to identify and define unfamiliar words in context. While reading to my students, I pause frequently to check comprehension. If they don\u2019t know a word, we search for context clues, then look up the definition to verify our deduction. This is also a great opportunity to reinforce knowledge of parts of speech, e.g. \u2018this is the noun <em>fly<\/em>; what does it mean when we use it as a verb?\u2019<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create community<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reading is too often solitary and functional, the vegetable kids have to eat before dessert. We need to remember: independently reading printed texts is a novelty. <\/p><div class=\"pullquote\"><p>For most of <em>homo sapiens<\/em>\u2018 time on the planet, stories were <em>oral<\/em>. <\/p><\/div><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People gathered around fires, or beneath fearfully and wonderfully made cathedral ceilings, to listen to a bard\/priest\/storyteller. Being read to was the only way most people could experience books until the advent of mass public education, which wasn\u2019t that long ago.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reading aloud in the classroom reclaims the power of the story to articulate fears, hopes and desires; to delve and reveal. Students who have a chance to respond verbally to a book: express how they feel, ask clarification questions and debate it with their peers, are more engaged than those who skim it in lonely silence.<\/p><h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learner-led Reading<\/h1><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Correct decoding errors<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even competent readers often make decoding errors such as \u2018stared\u2019 for \u2018started\u2019. If a student is reading silently, there is no chance to identify and correct these slips that, as they accumulate, affect comprehension. Younger and\/or less able readers are more likely to make these mistakes, so reading aloud is an ideal tool to support their literacy.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understand punctuation<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Emily Dickenson was right and \u201ca word is dead.\/When it is said\u201d then spare a thought for punctuation. Students can learn the function of commas, colons, etc. through direct instruction but that doesn\u2019t automatically translate to competent \u2014 much less creative \u2014 usage in their writing. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the best (only?) ways to understand the delicious possibilities of punctuation is to read aloud. By treating the punctuation as a kind of score \u2014 lift the voice here, pause, slow down, shout! \u2014 students develop the ear for punctuation that every good writer must have.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improve verbal fluency and confidence<\/h2><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We tend to think of fluency in the context of learning an additional language, but it isn\u2019t just language learners who need to practice this skill. Learning difficulties, lack of a richly verbal home life and shyness are a few of the reasons native speakers may struggle to express themselves fluently in their language. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For students who struggle to articulate, whether because they are acquiring the language or for some other reason, reading aloud takes the pressure off of deciding <em>what<\/em> to say, and allows them to focus on <em>how<\/em> to say. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reading well-written texts gives students a chance to see how successful communication sounds; they can practice pronunciation, enunciation and tone without the risk of error. Ideally, they can inhabit the voice of the text and, in bringing it to life, experience the possibilities of their own voice.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/images\/d2b1fcb9-c8e6-4db9-bb62-ddf6907fb288_300x456.jpeg?w=1080&#038;ssl=1\"\/><\/figure><h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parting thought<\/h1><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <em>Sense and Sensibility<\/em> the \u2018sensible\u2019 (i.e. sensitive) sister Marianne falls in love with Willoughby in part because \u201che read with all the sensibility and spirit\u201d his rival lacked. In Jane Austen\u2019s time, to read aloud well and fluently was a mark of refinement and good taste. As our world becomes more digitized, text-driven and fragmented, reading aloud is due a renaissance. Anyone can jab out a text message; to read a book with eloquence and feeling, though? That\u2019s magic.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>How do you feel about reading aloud to older students?
