Reading Aloud Practice 1

Read the passage aloud clearly.

"May, let's go to the park now! It's such a fine day that it would be our loss to stay indoors!" Kim exclaimed excitedly. Yawning and stretching herself on the sofa, May looked at her sister in amazement. How can she be so energetic? They had just reached home from their swimming lesson less than an hour ago.

May frowned at her sister and closed her eyes, hoping that Kim would leave her alone. As expected, Kim continued to nudge her sister and finally May surrendered. "Alright, you win! Let's go to the park but it's only for an hour! No longer than that!" Kim's face brightened up instantly.

Grabbing her bag, Kim pushed and pulled her lazy sister from the sofa and swiftly closed the door behind them. "It's going to be a wonderful evening at the park for us!" Kim smiled in glee, tugging May with her.

TiPs:
1. Pause at the punctuation marks.
2. Read with expression and feelings.
3. String words together so that you do not seem to read word-by-word.
