Jim Trelease’s DOs of Reading Aloud

• Begin reading to children as soon as possible. The younger you start them, the easier and better it is.

• Use Mother Goose rhymes and songs to stimulate the infant’s language and listening.

• Read as often as you and the child have time for• Set aside at least one traditional time each day for a

story• Use plenty of expression when reading aloud• Remember that reading aloud comes naturally to very

few people. To do it successfully and with ease, you must practice.

Jim Trelease’s DOs of Reading Aloud

• With infants through toddlers, it is critically important to include in your readings those books that contain repetitions; as they mature, add predictable books.

• During repeat readings of a predictable book, occasionally stop at one of the key words or phrases and allow the listener to provide the word.

• Remember: The art of listening is an acquired one. It must be taught and cultivated gradually – it doesn’t happen overnight.

• To encourage involvement, invite the child to turn pages for you when it is time.

Page 19: Off the Page: Bringing Books to Life - Amazon S3€¦ · –How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight by Jane Yolen ... –Good Night Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann. Stage Literacy Oracy Strategies

Jim Trelease’s DON’Ts of Reading Aloud

• Don’t be unnerved by questions during reading aloud.

• Don’t confuse quantity with quality. Reading to your child for ten minutes, given your full attention and enthusiasm, may very well last longer in the child’s mind than two hours of solitary television viewing.

• Don’t let books appear to be responsible for depriving children of screen time.

Jim Trelease’s DOs of Reading Aloud

• Before you begin to read, always say the name of the book, the author, and illustrator – no matter how many times you have read the book.

• Occasionally read above the child’s intellectual level to challenge his mind

• The first time you read a book, discuss the illustration on the cover “What do you think this is going to be about?”

• Lead by example. Make sure your children see you reading for pleasure other than during read-aloud time.

• Don’t continue reading a book once it is obvious that it was a poor choice

• Don’t read above a child’s emotional level

Literacy

• Emergent Readers (5’s & 6’s)• Read along with adult• Text should contain rhythm and repeated lines

• Early Readers (6’s & 7’s)• Read & sound out simple words (decoding)• Understand what they read• Text should contain predictable language patterns

with longer sentences, simple dialogue, and complicated elements of plot/theme/setting

Jim Trelease’s DOs of Reading Aloud

• Vary the length and subject matter of your reading.

• If you need to stop mid-chapter, stop at a suspenseful place

• Allow your listeners a few minutes to settle down and adjust their minds to the story. You might start by starting a conversation about what everyone remembers has already happened in the story.

Jim Trelease’s DON’Ts of Reading Aloud

• Don’t be fooled by awards. Just because a book won an award doesn’t guarantee that it will make a good read-aloud.

• Don’t select a book that has been seen or heard on television. Once the plot is known, much of their interest is lost. On the other hand, choose one to read BEFORE it’s released as a movie or television show.
