Mechanics of Read Aloud

Mechanics of Read Aloud

Dr. Brian Sturm

Date: 02/03/2016



In this video, from the School of Information and Library Science at UNC-Chapel Hill, discusses some of the fundamentals of reading aloud picture books to young children.

Key Lessons:

Make sure listeners sit at a 90 degree angle so that everyone can see.

Eye contact with listeners is very important.

Books are intended to be read close by one/two people, for this reason EVERY book does not make a great read aloud book for small children. Be weary of small intricate illustrations and too much text.

Choosing a good read aloud book -
  • Simple illustrations
  • Bold outlines
