Lost art...? Ummm, try having kids.
I used to be horrible at reading aloud. My brain couldn’t simultaneously read aloud and comprehend the content so I never actually absorb the contents
. Secondly, I didn’t like reading aloud because I couldn’t anticipate the meter/cadence do it always sounded like I was an illiterate idiot. As a result, even though I read silently a ton as a kid, I hated reading aloud growing up.
Fast forward to now after kids, and I am light years ahead! My pace and cadence is smooth, natural and fast. More importantly, I actually comprehend what I’m reading now. Like everything else, it just takes practice.
