Read Aloud!

Premise:
Reading is a life long problem solving activity. Reading involves interpreting what written symbols mean. It is not simply being able to make the sounds the words or symbols represent, it is actually about making sense of or comprehending what those words or symbols collectively mean. Finding meaning in written words does not have to be a laborious activity. Reading is something everyone can do and enjoy, whether it's done alone or with a friend.

Purpose:
This Read Aloud Project is an open invitation to literate adults to join Eduwatch in spreading a love of reading among young children at pre-identified schools by reading out loud to them. We hope to present children proper models of the English language and to foster an appreciation of the rhythm and flow of the English language in them. Most of all, we hope to serve as a channel through which children are led to develop a positive attitude toward reading and are encouraged to become life long readers.

Benefits:
By participating, you will acquire valuable knowledge and proven strategies for helping children learn through active listening. You will gain the satisfaction of giving back to the community by serving as a role model for both children and adults alike. Furthermore, your presence in these schools and classrooms is an action statement that you care and it will boost the morale of those who do the work of teaching children everyday.
