When I read out-loud words tend to take on a different meaning. Have you ever noticed that characters in a book will become more enthusiastic or have more feeling? My children even like to hear a goofy accent. My point is that when you volunteer to read to a group of kids at a library or a school to make it fun. Make it enjoyable. Too many times I have heard adults read a book to children and pretty much put them to sleep. Not too many children want to hear a story that is boring. Every story (at least in theory) should be fun. It should be read with feeling. Go volunteer at a school, library or bookstore and read, read, read!
