Our little Kairosians started their day with a read aloud program. They were involved in the activity by listening to their teachers . During the session teachers probed learners with different questions, like what is your favourite character in the story, what would you do if you were a Jackal, Catterpillar or a wood cutter. Learners expressed their views and ideas actively. Some of them are able to connect with their previous knowledge and speak about their favourite story. Reading aloud helps students learn how to use language to make sense of the world; it improves their information processing skills, vocabulary, and comprehension. Reading aloud targets the skills of audio learners. Research has shown that teachers who read aloud motivate students to read.
