Why Read Aloud?

Why Reading Aloud Matters?

From sharing Roger Hargreave’s Mr Men stories with Year 1 children, to reading Shakespeare's Hamlet with Year 13, I have never had any doubt that reading aloud is hugely valuable. This is a common view, and certainly one that I imagine all librarians and lovers of books share. The benefits of reading aloud books and reading aloud other texts is immense. It is my colleague, Stephen Murgatroyd, who I have to thank, as his recent extensive research into reading aloud. It has provided so much evidence to validate my belief that reading stories aloud is advantageous to all. As well as this, he also recommended the recent addition of Jim Trelease's The Read-Aloud Handbook to our library and the excellent youtube clips at the end of this article.
