Week 26-Reading Aloud

Original Paragraph:

A wonderful way for a child to learn is to interact with someone who is reading aloud. Active, engaged learning is remembered better than passive learning. Many adults, when reading aloud, instinctively draw children into the story by asking them questions that help children to learn for themselves and to connect the marrative with their own experience. All subject matters are appropriate fo this interactive mode of reading aloud to children. Take for example the following passage form the section on "Physical Sciences":

Now I am going to do an evaluation of this paragraph:

I think thier idea about children being pulled into the story is very true, but also I think that some listeners, like myself, create a mental picture in our heads of what the story is telling, even if we are being read to, or are reading to ourselves. I, personally, don't really like it when adults try to ask questions about the material and get the listener to understand the reading. I justlike to listen.
