Reading Aloud to Preschoolers

• Choosing a book that isn't too long and doesn't have too many words on a page(10 min max)  Patterned or predictable books are good to read aloud to preschool students.
• Get students ready to read and settled in -  you might consider doing a finger play with students or sing a familiar song that students have recently learned
• Think aloud- as you read you may want to tell students what you are thinking as you are reading.
• Reading non-fiction as well as fiction
• Choose a book that you enjoy
• Practice reading the book aloud before reading the story to students- Don't read too fast
• Bring in item(s) to spark interest in the story or to help build background knowledge if the story is about something students may not be familiar with.
