Using Dr. Seuss for Read-Alouds

Tips for reading aloud from the CDA council:
  • Be sure to preview books before reading them to make sure they are appropriate for your students
  • Mark places to stop and ask questions, make predictions, or make connections
  • Keep children’s attention by holding eye contact
  • Remember to speak clearly 
  • Match the tempo of the book’s story
  • “Act out” the book using character voices, hand/body movements, and facial expressions
  • Take a few moments to do a “picture walk” before you read
  • Extend book-reading experiences with related activities/projects
