Because we, as secondary students and as reading club members, believe that reading aloud can be fun when shared with younger kids, we visited the elementary library and picked up stories convenient to grade two students. After practicing the proper intonation and voice expression with the help of our teachers, we initiated a reading session held on October 30,2010 in the elementary school. We were divided into groups; each one read a different story to members of grade two. This experience was so thrilling that it surpassed everyone’s expectations. At first, we panicked, but when the children started interacting enthusiastically, we enjoyed every moment with those inquisitive kids that we had underestimated. The kids enjoyed the experience too. At the end, we all had a bundle of laughs along with our reading club teachers, Mrs. Zeina, Miss Heba, and Miss Nemat. We certainly hope we could repeat the experience.
