Reading Aloud Becomes a Lively Family Experience
What does a story sound like when it is exciting, warm, and full of imagination? In the workshop “The Art of Reading Aloud,” participants discover how a book can create a special experience for children in the Dornberg Community Library. Christine Ruis, a theater educator and passionate reader, invites participants to learn about different forms of creative reading aloud and to try them out practically.
Bringing Stories to Life with Voice, Expression, and Imagination
In a protected workshop setting, the focus is on lively, age-appropriate, and varied reading aloud. Participants gain insights into Christine Ruis's long-standing methods and experiment with various ways to shape stories using voice, expression, and suitable images. This creates a valuable learning experience for anyone wishing to share joy, curiosity, and quality time with children through books.
Creatively Using Kamishibai and Picture Cards
A special emphasis is placed on Kamishibai, the Japanese paper or tabletop theater. Additionally, different ways to use picture cards while reading aloud will be presented. These methods support age-appropriate communication, enhance attention, and provide children with a vivid access to language, images, and storytelling worlds.
Pedagogically Valuable and Directly Applicable
Reading aloud strengthens language development, imagination, and shared conversations. The workshop combines pedagogical expertise with practical exercises and provides ideas that can be implemented in families, daycares, schools, and libraries. The serene atmosphere of the library creates the perfect setting for focused learning, creative experimentation, and joint exploration.
