This summer, the Oakland is a Reading Town campaign is sharing tips and resources for effective read-alouds. 
Here are 4 easy steps to make read-alouds interactive, engaging, and joyful for any audience:

1️⃣ Pick it — choose a book that fits your audience
2️⃣ Preview it — read ahead to flag tricky words and concepts
3️⃣ Bring it to life — read with energy and expression
4️⃣ Talk about it — invite thinking and conversation

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or community volunteer, these small shifts can turn story time into a moment kids look forward to. Find featured books and read-aloud guides at http://www.oaklandreads.org/readingtown.

Oakland is a Reading Town — and every voice reading aloud and sharing stories helps build it. 🌳
