My Project

The read alouds that I am requesting will consistently be used in my classroom. They will help expose children to rich and varied language. Hearing a wide range of words and language patterns helps children develop their own language skills, expanding their vocabulary and improving their comprehension abilities. They also help expose children to diverse cultures, experiences, and perspectives. Through stories, students learn about different people, places, and traditions, which helps broaden their worldview and develop their social skills.

Read alouds play a vital role in Kindergarten literacy instruction by promoting language development, comprehension skills, cultural awareness, critical thinking, a love of reading, and listening skills.

They help create a supportive and engaging environment for students to explore the world of books and become confident, enthusiastic readers.

Overall, Kindergarten students get excited about listening to read alouds because they enjoy the engaging and interactive experience. They enjoy getting to unleash their imagination and creativity.
