Reading with expression isn't just fun, but it helps your child with growing their early literacy skills. When you read with expression, children are more likely to be engaged and comprehend the story. You can also point to the words on the page. Does the font get BIGGER when a character yells, or smaller when they whisper? You can talk about the differences you see, and encourage your child to make the connections between the writing on the page, the sounds they're hearing, and the meaning of those words. Isn't that so cool? |
