INTRODUCTION
As you can see, shared reading with children is far more involved than reading aloud, and it’s
not right for every story session – particularly if you’re winding down at bedtime, but it’s
definitely worth exploring as your child can get so much out of it. They’re far more likely to
remember the vocabulary in a story they’ve shared with you and have been ‘involved with’ than
one they’ve experienced more passively. This deeper engagement in reading is a real boon for
literacy and can, in turn, encourage reading for pleasure.

ABSTRACTION
 Ways of Sharing Stories to Young Readers

1. Be prepared Sharing
a story should be fun for everyone, even grown-ups! Read it yourself first and have a think
about the characters and plot. If you love it, chances are they will too! This also means that
there will be no surprises that might trip you up as you read. 2. Get comfy
Are there enough cushions and blankets to sit on? Can you be heard? Is there enough
light? If your children are easily distracted, they can draw or play games quietly while you
read; they’ll still reap the benefits of your storytelling.
3. Holding the book Now it’s
time to tame those pages so you can read the text and your kids can see you. You can hold
the book wide open and to the side or put it between laps. Plus, you can use your free hand
to point out pictures and for grand gestures. 4.
Get into character Using voices
and songs is a great way to bring the story to life. You can go high or low or change the
speed from fast to slow to show the difference between characters. Songs are also great
and you can write your own catchy tune or borrow a well-known melody. 5.
 Mix it up Changing tempo
is a great way to grab children’s attention and build suspense or add humour. Try slowing
down or speeding up for different scenes. With emotional books, it’s especially important
to keep it real, so make the differences subtle.

6. Vary the tone If you’re

ready to more add strings to your bow, try contrasting your tone which is good for sharing
both voices and narration. How about switching from monotone to musical? Whispering can
also be great fun as it feels like a secret and kids love secrets! 7. Add movement
and props You can take it to another
level by adding movements and props. Make your movements as big or small as you like
and invite the kids to join in. Maybe their arms become flapping wings or a wooden spoon
becomes a paintbrush. 8. Make it interactive
Involve your listeners! You can ask them to repeat sentences, encourage them to add sound
effects, get them to count and name what they see and even let them guess what’s coming
next.
9. Discuss as you read Speak your
thoughts aloud as you read. Is there something similar you remember happening in the
world? Or a related memory from your childhood? Set an example and your listeners will
become active, engaged readers who make their own connections. 10. Take it to a new
level Challenge kids with stories above
their reading level. When you get to something difficult or new in the book, stop and repeat
it slowly. Tell them what it means, what it makes you think of, other words that mean the
same thing and use it again in another context.

Development of book and print orientation skills 

Book and Print Awareness: Getting Ready to Read

Before a child can read and make meaning from a text, she needs to understand some basic
concepts about books and print, also known as book and print awareness.  The great thing about
these concepts is that they can be integrated naturally as you read aloud to your child.

What Is Print Awareness?

A child who has print awareness understands that print represents words that
have meaning and are related to spoken language.

Kids who have print awareness are able to do things like hold a book correctly
and understand that books are read from front to back. They also realize that
sentences are read from left to right.
Print awareness is one of five critical pre-reading skills. Without print
awareness, children are unable to develop other literacy skills such as
reading, spelling, and handwriting.

How Print Awareness Develops

Kids who are read to on a regular basis naturally pick up many of the skills by
following the examples of the people around them.

A child’s print awareness develops when those close to him point out letters
and words in text found in the child’s environment. It also develops through
playing word games, when you turn the pages of a book, and when you run
your finger under a line of text as you read.

 5 Fun Ways to Develop Print Awareness

The best way to develop print awareness is through a variety of print-rich experiences. Here are
five engaging activities to enjoy with your child.

Teach the Alphabet

Teach your child to recognize the letters of the alphabet through the activities.
You’ll find ABC Playdough Mats, ABC Bracelets, Tactile Letter Cards, and
more.
Tell a Story

Have your child tell you a story. If your child needs a prompt, wordless picture
books are great for this! Write it down on paper for her to illustrate.

Make a Sign

Help your child create signs for the doors in the house, such as “Welcome to
Lexi’s room,” “Bathroom,” “Mom and Dad’s Room,” or “The Kitchen Is Open.”

Read the Mail

When the mail is delivered each day, have your child help you sort it
according to which family member’s name is on the label. If interesting cards,
ads, or magazines arrive, read parts of them aloud.

Read Aloud
Read lots of picture books aloud to your child. Read reviews of fantastic
picture books to share together, or download our extensive list. As you read to
your child:

 Mention the parts of a book as you read. “Look at this cover! This book
must be about elephants!” “The End…that’s the last page of the book.”
 Have your child help you turn the pages.
 Model that we read from left to right by occasionally running your finger
under the text as you read.
 Ask your child to point to the first word on the page.
 Occasionally point out periods and exclamation points.

 ANALYSIS

Engage the children you shepherd, whether teacher, administrator, or parent,

in daily doses of reading with you and by reading on their own. This helps
reading be something they own and look forward to each day. It becomes part
of them and helps to shape their identities by fueling their passions and
soothing the rough parts of life, too.
Books in hands. This is where it all begins. This is where it grows over time.
From my forty years as an educator, especially as a literacy specialist, I have
witnessed many reading wars and engaged in numerous passion fights myself
to champion what I know as truth: We learn to read by reading. In this simple
truth, I have supported and watched hundreds of children (thousands, in truth)
bud and blossom as readers. The exact journey and timeline of reading
learning wasn’t and isn’t the same for all children. But, from my observations
and interactions, a few common factors have become vital patterns in
successfully nurturing growing readers.
