reading aloud

But we can use visual images to get children to make inferences.

They don't have to be, or if we're reading aloud to them, we can be asking them very simple inferencing questions.

And these young children make inferences all day.

They see somebody coming in wet, they will make an inference that it's raining outside.

They're not seeing their parents writing because we might be tapping everything, putting our shopping list on our smartphone, for example.

And children aren't seeing, parents reading they're not seeing parents writing so to make almost a concerted effort to think about does my child ever really see me writing or do they hear me reading out a recipe if I'm doing the dinner and maybe that's something I could do you know when I get the opportunity or I'm I bought something from a well-known shop and I need to construct it.

Can I read out the instructions as I'm doing it? And letting young children see literacy in action almost at home and then reading aloud.

Reading, reading and shared reading.

And it was so fun when you were talking about this in your workshop a couple weeks ago.

That is the book I am reading in our Read Aloud class in our enrichment program right now.

And I was like,

You can read online.

Hopefully if, if this takes off, there'll eventually be an app for the phone that'll make it easier.

But yeah, especially for read alouds, like our, our Bandersnatch books, we love physical books.

and having them in the world.

Right.

What I think is interesting is I could see parents taking this book and saying, hey, guys, we're going to do Read Aloud every night before we go to bed.

We're going to read a few pages or a chapter or something like that.

And it gives parents an opportunity to explain to their children geography or history or culture.

I hit that point with my 11s and 12-year-olds, so I'm not reading as much with them anymore.

But there's an amazing book called The Read Aloud Handbook by Jim Trelease.

If I were to gift anyone a book when they have a child, if I had like a million dollars, and if I was friends with Jim Trelease, which I'm not, so I'm not going to buy a thousand copies of his book and give them as a baby gift.

But if I was friends with Jim Trelease or if he sent me a thousand copies of his book, I would give his Read Aloud in a Handbook as a gift.

And one of the best pieces of wisdom that he had, as well as Megan Cox Gordon, she wrote The Enchanted Hour, also a fantastic book about reading aloud.

And you might be thinking to yourself, why do I need to read two books about reading to my children? You do.

To possess yourself entirely will ensure you from either failing, either loitering or hurrying, If a patient has to see, not only to his own, but also to his nurse's punctuality, or perseverance, or readiness, or calmness, to any or all of these things, he is far better without that nurse than with her, however valuable and handy her services may otherwise be to him, and however incapable he may be of rendering them to himself.

With regard to reading aloud in the sick-room, my experience is that when the sick are too ill to read to themselves, they can seldom bear to be read to.

Children, eye-patients, and uneducated persons are exceptions, or when there is any mechanical difficulty in reading.

people who like to be read to have generally not much the matter with them while in fevers or where there is much irritability of brain the effort of listening to reading aloud has often brought on delirium

Winning never sounded so good.

What would you do if you won big? At Crown Coins Casino, real people win real prizes every single day.

Very few people read aloud as pleasantly even as they speak.

In reading they sing, they hesitate, they stammer, they hurry, they mumble, when in speaking they do none of these things.

It'll always work.

Welcome, welcome to the Read Aloud Revival podcast.

I'm Sarah McKenzie, and this is the show where we help you make meaningful and lasting connections with your kids through books.

I have a treat of an episode for you today because one of my favorite people is here.

And I got your bag.

It was like a combo deal.

I got the Read Aloud family.

And I still use the bag.

Microsoft is suggesting that you replace it with scanning inside the OneDrive app with Microsoft 365 Copilot as the longer-term home.

Unfortunately, though, Microsoft has dropped features that Lens used to have, including Immersive Reader and Read Aloud, and OneDrive won't save a scan locally on your device.

While we're talking about this particular task, I would say do not procrastinate.

I was going to tell you this last week, but then I put it off.
