![]() What is the setting or where is the story taking place?. ![]() As librarians, when we read aloud, we can change the way we ask questions and pave the way for discussions.įor example, before we read aloud stories or after we have read a story we often ask – Children need to begin thinking and asking questions right from an early age. I’ve noticed that when librarians or teachers read aloud picture books to children, the questions that they ask are simplistic and obvious, thus not challenging children to think and question. One of the critical aspects of building a reading habit is developing curiosity and interest – this will then lead to the joy of reading. When students see adults reading, thinking, and questioning, students will imitate and follow along. However, reading habits are not the sole responsibility of the librarian but the entire education system and the parents. Much research has shown the benefits of reading, and despite the rich evidence, librarians are struggling to support reading habits. Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel -Socrates. ![]()
