In the Read-Aloud program, children discover the joy of reading through an engaging and interactive approach. Students hear wonderful stories and then have the chance to express their ideas about what they've heard by asking questions, drawing or painting, dramatizing scenes, and even singing! These young students discover that reading is fun, active, and for everyone. Read-Aloud helps children begin to develop the reading, writing, oral communication, and thinking skills they need to become good readers.
