Read aloud is a process in which the teacher reads to the students, this is students of all levels of reading ability and grade (prek-12 and be on). Reading out loud to your students takes a different meaning to the student, they enjoy having the teacher read to them and normally pay more attention to the content. Reading out loud to students should be a fun experience for all.
