Bringing people together and books to life.

Reading aloud gives a different experience of reading for both the listeners and the reader. It naturally slows the text down and creates a relaxed atmosphere. We read slowly so that we have time to think along with the reading!

The group discusses ideas, thoughts and feelings about the readings. Together we mull over different parts of the story or poem that strike us as interesting or that we relate to. Sharing our thoughts provides a richer interpretation than we can achieve when reading alone. Your Reader Leader weaves together all the personal responses to create a unique interpretation of the text.

No reading experience necessary. It's fun and relaxing, and you can make friends!
