• Reading aloud helps me understand better. Hearing the words helps me know the words.
• I love to read, but it is nice once in a while for someone else read and hear new words.
• Reading aloud gives you a chance to discuss the story and learn with others.
• I think read aloud is important because it helps my imagination. I also like it at bedtime, I can fall asleep faster if someone reads to me.
• I like reading to someone younger then me.
• Hearing a story makes me want to read the book again- especially if it was interesting and funny.
• Reading aloud allows me to picture the characters and setting better.
• It is easier to listen to a read aloud then to read a story and then I can understand the story better.
