2018 Reading Aloud: Children 's Attitudes toward being Read to at Home and at School

This article was such a great read, thank you Jannie van Hees.  Have attached some quotes

Reading aloud is associated with a range of literacy skills and cognitive benefits.
Reading to children in the early years has been linked to related language growth, emergent
literacy and reading achievement (Bus et al., 1995).

A recent analysis of 29 studies found
“significant, positive effects for read-aloud interventions on children’s language,
phonological awareness, print concepts, comprehension, and vocabulary outcomes”
suggesting that read-aloud interventions “provide children at-risk of reading difficulties with
higher literacy outcomes than children who do not participate in these interventions”
(Swanson et al. 2012, p. 13).

So as a team we may want to introduce D.E.A.R (drop everything and read), with a song or certain sound. Introduce this a daily item. All building learners capacity to and desire to read, increase the enjoyment and motivation. Create a love for reading by making it fun.  By introducing it through Stonefields language of our vision will help to 




Research suggests that that being read to leads to children’s
increased vocabulary (Beck, McKeown & Kucan, 2002), reading comprehension, and
cognitive skills (Kalb and van Ours (2014).
