What is choral reading?

Choral reading is a group reading activity in which a group of people read aloud together in unison. It is often used in educational settings as a way to improve reading fluency, comprehension, and oral communication skills.

During choral reading, participants read a text together, usually a poem, speech, or passage from a book, while following along with the text. The group reads together at the same pace and intonation, creating a unified and synchronized vocal performance.

Choral reading can help improve reading skills and confidence, as it allows participants to practice reading aloud in a supportive group setting. It also helps to develop listening skills, as participants must pay attention to stay in sync with the group.

Choral reading can be a fun and engaging activity for both children and adults, and can be adapted for different levels of reading proficiency. It can also be used as a performance technique in drama or public speaking settings.
