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
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
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
