Chapter 10
This chapter is about the importance of reading out loud to students. It brought out some very good points about how helpful it can be. One of my favorites is the new vocabulary that can be learned. I absolutely love interesting words and many that have stuck in my vocabulary are ones that I have picked up while reading. To be able to read aloud to students and introduce new words and their pronunciation will help their language skills immensely. Another point that struck me is one that I know is very obvious but I can defiantly see how some people myself included may forget, which is to read the book beforehand. I want to teach middle school so I would need to make sure they are appropriate for my students. I would not want to run into any mishaps especially when I am in the middle of the story. Also being able to introduce different genres to my students, I could potentially get them interested in something that they themselves would have never even thought twice about.
I didn't realize either how important it is to read the book and know what it's about before reading it to the students. Kids will definitely pick up vocabulary words by reading out loud to them.
ReplyDeleteI think you gave great information. I think reading out loud is great because it also lets the reader hear themselves understand what their reading and a better picture of what their reading. I also agree that students can pick up vocabulary words by doing this activity. Great job!
