It is important that you and the children feel comfortable. Feel free to have children sit on the classroom’s rug, on chairs in a circle, or on desks. However, it is important that you be at the children’s level. If the children sit on the rug, then you should also sit on the rug. If they sit on chairs, then you should also sit on chairs.

Don't be afraid to ham it up when reading! Use different voices for different characters and let emotions show in your voice. Remember to read at a slow enough pace so that the kids can follow along. Also, slow your reading pace as tension builds in the story, or speed up as things become exciting. Pause where appropriate. Copy characters’ actions, such as sneezing or sighing. This is especially helpful for English language learners. By bringing the words to life through your voice, the students are able to attach meaning to the words they do not understand.

Help the children become part of the story. Have them move and make facial expressions as the character would. Ask the children to supply sound effects while you read. After reading, sing songs or play games that are relevant to the story or the theme.
Encourage children to connect the stories they hear and the characters they meet with events and people in their own life through drawing, drama, pretend play. Take a few moments to talk about the similarities and differences between characters in the story and people in their real life.

Pictures also tell the story! Look at the pictures and encourage the children to tell you what they see and to predict what will happen next. Let the kids’ imaginations run free when they find things in the pictures that aren’t mentioned in the text.

If a child asks questions, stop to talk about the story. Begin reading again by re-reading a sentence or two before the place where you stopped. Encourage the children to participate, repeating cumulative phrases with you or making sounds to accompany the story.

Include a testing of their storyline hypotheses ("Do you still think the story is going to end like that? Why or why not?"), an appraisal of the characters' actions ("Was it a good idea for the character to do that?"), and an examination of cause-and-effect relationships ("So now that you know what really happened, why do you think the character looks so excited?").

Encourage all the children to talk. For a shy child, large gatherings can be terrifying. Be patient if the child does not want talk do not put them on the spot. Instead, try changing the subject you never know what can spark the interest of a child. Also, be aware that when asked a question, it may take 20 or 30 seconds for them to respond. They may be translating your question from English to Spanish then back to English before they answer. This takes some time. Be patient!

Try To:
