When you read a book aloud to listeners, you add a new layer of meaning to the story. The oral medium communicates in a way that the printed word can not. In this session we will discuss ways to take advantage of the characteristics of orality to breathe life into read-alouds. I base my list of characteristics on those discussed in Walter Ong’s book Orality and Literacy. I will present examples using short book sections. I also invite and encourage discussion from the audience. At the end of this session attendees will be able to name characteristics of orality. Attendees will also have strategies for using various characteristics of orality to enhance their read alouds.
