  14. "So how do you do this read aloud thing?”

  15. Fourteen Fantastic Hints on Reading Aloudby Mem Fox, Queen of Read Aloud •    Ensure your audience sits close to you and close to each other. •    Welcome everyone with roving eye-contact on the first couple of lines. •    Entice, with the first line.

  16. •    Remember to make the phrases into beautiful, lilting, up & down music. •    Paint pictures by visualising the scenes and the emotions. •    Change vocally: high/low; loud/soft; fast/slow. •    Speak the verbs (action words) with animation for lively reading .

  17. •    Fall in love with the pause. •    Don’t over-express: it’s embarrassing—just hang loose and have fun. •    Don’t be ruled by rhyme endings. •    Make the last line v-e-r-y slow indeed.

  18. •    Say goodbye to everyone with roving eye-contact on the last lines. •    Never read anything aloud that you don’t like yourself. •    Enjoy yourself and throw yourself into it to stop yourself from being boring!
