What reading aloud from a story the children will contribute It is a learning experience and a very intense communication with us, serving to create beautiful shared memories, increase your self-esteem and strengthen the family relationship.
Before moving on to this, I think there are a couple of details that need to be nuanced to give our out loud reading all possible wealth and increase the child's attention through their emotions and the creation of memories.
Keeping attention
We have previously spoken about the voice, however, to reinforce the child's connection with the story and keep your attention There are some additional techniques that we can use. One is to play with our voice to make them more attentive, pending the words.
We can change our tones so that they are very pending, marking the contrasts. Speak loud and short, speak faster or slower, use a more serious tone or an acute tone. And, of course, mark the pauses making sense.
The other issue is to take care of the end. A solemn tone is usually asked for by the same story, but it will depend on the story, of course. The important thing is to mark that end intensely, reading slowly and marking the meaning of the words, so that they remain etched in your mind and your heart.
Doing the end very exciting and then, look into the eyes of the child, in silence, and then tell them how beautiful it has been to share these moments with them and how precious the story has seemed to us.
And be prepared so that when you finish, they ask you to start over from the beginning. If that happens, it is that reading aloud has worked.
What reading aloud brings emotionally
From a point of view relational and emotional Reading aloud to children will allow them to share feelings and memories with us, including interests.
What reading aloud to children brings It is the formation of a very special bond, with complicity, having created together a magical moment in which our love and attention has led them to a world full of fantasy. We have given them a souvenir, or rather, we have given it to both of them.
As I said has created a complicity relationship Between the reader and the listener, in which both have enjoyed and communicated, because the child, although not interrupting us (who will sometimes) has also participated in the story by listening to us and looking at us transmitting their feelings.
What reading aloud brings educationally
Reading a story is a pleasure that does not necessarily have to look for an educational objective. However, without a doubt, the one we get used to read to children since childhood If you are also going to contribute very important things to your education.
The child, including the baby, discovers in this way the existence of books and that their use offers wonderful possibilities and many stories. And little by little you will learn that all those adventures that we transmit with our words are encoded with the letters.
And they will want to know more about them, and learn to read, but each one will do it at the time and never have to force or learn or read a child who does not want to do it yet. Simply follow reading to us aloud And surely your time will come.
But, we don't just talk about that read out loud In children, they provide a discovery of the object or technique of reading, but of everything it can offer us: adventure, fantasy, dreams, imagination, magic, entertainment, learning, discoveries and emotions always available.
Yes we read aloud to children aloud and they also see us reading habitually they will be attracted to reading and will want to read when they learn, as long as forcing them does not kill their natural desire.
