29. Reading aloud!
For some people the thought of reading
something aloud can be really scary.
However, whilst you’re at home, in an
environment you’re most comfortable in
it is a great time to practice.
Today you need to spend your time
reading the Garden Year aloud. This is a
skill which you will use throughout your
life and the more you practise the more
natural it’ll feel.
Lets have a think about how we can be
experts…
30. Tips for reading aloud
◦ Work on the tricky words. Find out what they
mean and how they are said. Practise saying
them.
◦ Look for the full stops. Make sentences flow to
the full stop, even when there’s a new line.
◦ Slow down. Speak slowly when you’re reading a
poem, so that others can hear the words.
◦ Project your voice. Imagine someone on the
other side of the room and speak to them.
◦ Practise. Read and read and read your poem, so
that you get better each time.
It’s over to you! Give the poem a go!
