Choral Reading

I personally dislike choral reading. I find it awkward to read out loud with a group. I would much rather read one person at a time. I do think it is important to read texts out loud from time to time. It helps bring the story to life, especially for younger children. I think stories can be enhanced by different people reading different parts or by one person using different voices for the different characters. I also think it is interesting to hear poetry read aloud, but I also don't feel comfortable doing that. I do feel comfortable in a classroom setting, but I wouldn't want to read at a poetry reading or anything like that.
