AcƟvity 3: Reading Aloud

We all know the benefits of reading at a young age – it can build confidence  and self‐esteem, develop understanding and empathy, and create a thirst for  knowledge. In addiƟon, it can greatly improve wriƟng skills by broadening the  range of vocabulary, as well as improving spelling and punctuaƟon.   However, it is someƟmes a challenge geƫng pupils to read aloud, especially if it  does not come naturally to them. Below are top Ɵps for helping pupils with the  Reading Aloud  secƟon:    Always encourage pupils to choose books that they genuinely enjoy reading. They should read out their favourite part of the story, which should ideally contain dialogue. Try to steer them towards an exciƟng part of the book where something interesƟng is happening.  Book choices should ideally contain opportuniƟes for good vocal variety. For example, a book extract may contain parts where candidates can use soŌ and/or loud voices, parts which can be spoken slowly and/or quickly, and secƟons where candidates can use a low‐ pitched and/or high‐pitched voice.
