Reading Aloud

NPT’s LEARNING TO READ series focuses on family literacy, providing parents and children with skills that can help improve literacy levels in children. Through the experiences of diverse families, the series takes viewers on a journey through wide-ranging aspects of literacy and includes ways to access free books in a community, how to build literacy through everyday activities and more.

Reading Aloud

Season 2023 Episode 4 | 1m 4s | CC

When you read aloud to children, they learn how to distinguish different sounds and words. This helps them build their vocabulary and understand how words are pronounced. When children hear stories read aloud and see their teacher and peers enjoying books, they are more likely to want to read on their own.
