“When I read to children, I try to become the characters. It's great if you can make a separate voice for each character. Sometimes you can lower your voice with excitement or get more intimate about it: you can lean forward and engage the children as a narrator or as a reader. It's particularly important that you find the voice that you want to use for each character, because then children can imagine that person as you're reading aloud. And of course, the illustrations help enormously.” IfsWantTryingChildrenPersonsImportantSometimesCharacterHelpingUseCoursesReadingVoiceImagineReaderExcitementIntimateImagine ThatIllustrationNarratorsReading Aloud Author:Julie Andrews
“There are certain things in 'Twilight'... As much as I'm proud of that movie and I do like it, I feel like maybe I brought too much of myself to the character. I feel like I really know Bella now. But most readers feel like they know Bella because it's a first-person narrative.” KnowsFeelsFirstsPersonsCharacterCertainToo MuchReaderProudNarrativeTwilightFirst PersonFirst Person Narrative Author:Kristen Stewart
