Reading Aloud Methods in European Kindergartens
- Interactive read-aloud
- Language development
- Multilingualism
20 creative read-aloud methods from 29 educators in 7 countries turn reading aloud into a lively conversation.
What it is about
Reading aloud is part of everyday kindergarten life – often the children simply listen. ReadIN invites them to join in: they ask questions, continue the story, act out scenes and bring in their own languages.
Shared reading thus strengthens language, imagination and relationships at once – without any screen.
Primera's role
Primera contributes its experience in the professional development of educators and supports the exchange of methods that make reading aloud and storytelling lively, varied and inclusive.
How we use it
In our training, we practise interactive reading aloud. Educators pause to ask open questions and invite children to discuss stories together and connect them with their own experiences. They support vocabulary development and make room for the group's different languages.
