"Reading Aloud: Is It Worth It?"

This article discusses the advantages of reading aloud to students. Nancy Lacedonia, a teacher in Massachusetts, created a survey to gauge the effectiveness of reading aloud in a classroom setting. The findings show that classroom reading can enhance a student's reading ability and can create an interest in literature. Students who learn to appreciate literature are often more successful in school, and are often more likely to go to college.

I think that this topic is relevant to my future classroom. As an English teacher, I will be exposing my students to a variety of literary works. By introducing these works aloud, I can help the whole class to participate, and this will encourage class discussion and group learning. Reading aloud is a good way to bring the class together.
