Good readers don't just say the words; they make their voice match the story. This is called reading with expression or prosody.

What is reading with expression?

Read with Feeling!
  • Good readers do more than just say words.
  • They change their voice to match the story's mood.

Reading with expression, or prosody, means using your voice to match the feelings and ideas in the story.

💡 Think about how a character feels when you read their words.
