Continued development can be achieved by encouraging the child to choose various types of texts to read aloud, such as poetry, speeches, or dialogues from plays. This can help them explore different tones, paces, and emotions, enhancing their expressive reading skills. Additionally, giving the child opportunities to read aloud in front of an audience, such as family members or peers, can build confidence and public speaking skills.
