From the Indiana Library Federation: The Read Aloud Indiana program fosters a love of reading and the sound of language. It consists of five read-aloud lists: one each for primary school ages, upper elementary, middle grades, high school, and ageless. The lists are publicized and distributed to encourage sustained reading and oral sharing of literature among teachers and students.

Research confirms the benefits of reading aloud for all ages — it improves vocabulary, increases attention, connects with emotions and helps with bonding, especially with younger ages.
