What is a Read Aloud Group?
A Read Aloud group is a weekly reading group in which good quality short
stories, poems and novels are read together aloud by members of the group
and the group facilitators, each taking it in turn to read a paragraph or
chunk of text. Collected Works run Read Aloud groups across Brighton and
are now planning to set up groups in Southwick and Lancing libraries.
During the workshop you will:
Discuss what qualities make a good Reading Champion
Meet a volunteer Reading Champion who already runs a group
Talk about books and why you love reading
Hear about the Read Aloud groups Collected Works are working with this
year
Practice reading aloud in a supportive environment
Share a poem that means something to you
Skills needed:
