Reading Comprehension is vital to the academic performance of the students.

Reading is one of the macro skills that a learner should develop for him/her to be able to

achieve quality education. Reading to children is the single most important activity for

language development and it builds sound-symbols awareness which is an important

factor that influenced a child’s later ability to learn to read. According to the article

(Reading Aloud to Build Comprehension by: Judith Gold, Akimi Gibson) Reading aloud

is the foundation for literacy development. It is the single most important activity for

reading success (Bredekamp, Copple, & Neuman, 2000). It provides children with a

demonstration of phrased, fluent reading (Fountas & Pinnell, 1996). It reveals the

rewards of reading, and develops the listener's interest in books and desire to be a

reader (Mooney, 1990). Listening to others read develops key understanding and skills,

such as an appreciation for how a story is written and familiarity with book conventions,

such as "once upon a time" and "happily ever after" (Bredekamp et al., 2000). Reading

aloud demonstrates the relationship between the printed word and meaning – children

understand that print tells a story or conveys information – and invites the listener into a

conversation with the author. Children can listen on a higher language level than they

can read, so reading aloud makes complex ideas more accessible and exposes children

to vocabulary and language patterns that are not part of everyday speech. This, in turn,

helps them understand the structure of books when they read independently (Fountas &

Pinnell, 1996). It exposes less able readers to the same rich and engaging books that

fluent readers read on their own, and entices them to become better readers. Students

of any age benefit from hearing an experienced reading of a wonderful book.


Reading aloud also improves students’ interaction on the class because their

attention will be focus on the teacher who reads the story. Reading aloud involves

proper articulation and diction of the word so that the students could get the correct

pronunciation of the word that improves the vocabulary of the students. It also requires

proper tone of the voice and facial expression.
