Reading Aloud As Service (1 of 3)

 READING ALOUD AS SERVICE

PART 1 (2 hours): Why We Read Aloud — Reading as Care & Connection

Purpose:

To ground volunteers in the why of reading aloud: not performance, but human connection and literacy access.


Key Ideas:

- Reading aloud builds emotional safety, language exposure, listening stamina, and shared meaning.

- Volunteers are co-readers, not performers.

- A good read-aloud is about attunement, not accents or acting.
