Who would have thought 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Oral reading helps children to develop reading fluency and can support vocabulary development, however it needs to be enjoyable and fun! Often children are hesitant to do this at home, but if you are able to make the experience less pressured and more authentic you will ease your child's perceived pressure, and they will slowly see that oral reading can actually be a rewarding experience. Why not mix it up and get your child to read to something rather than someone? Reading to your family pet, favourite doll, Lego collection or plastic dinosaur has many advantages. Or why not have your child pop on an animal or superhero mask? Allow them to become the persona of the mask they are wearing - it all adds to the excitement of the experience! Get creative, and the benefits will come rolling in.
