Teaching Tips: Teaching Tip 2: Reading Aloud

This document provides teaching tips for getting students to read aloud in class. It recommends picking different students to read the instructions for activities to check pronunciation, ensure other students understand better, engage students more than if the teacher reads alone, and allow all students to finish at the same time. While reading aloud was once discouraged, it is now considered useful as people do read text aloud in real life, such as sharing news stories.

If they listen to someone reading the instructions out loud they all finish at the same time.

Extra Info: Getting students to read aloud used to be unpopular because the powers that be said that it was unrealistic as we never do it in real life - you read books silently, dont you?
