While reading independently is important, so it reading aloud!
Here are a couple of reasons to keep reading aloud to children:
- Reading Aloud Introduces Children to Vocabularly They Might Not Be Able to Read on Their Own.
- Reading Out Loud Improves Comprehension and Active Listening
- Reading Aloud Reduces Stress and Makes Us Happy
- Reading Aloud Strengthens Fluency
- Reading Out Loud Can Improve Working Memory
Books will be available for check out at the children's desk.
Registration is required.
Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher Miss Honey. During her first term at school, the two forge a bond as Miss Honey begins to recognize and appreciate Matilda's extraordinary personality. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves to punish those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace! Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
