Grade 3 · Reading · Lesson 29

Practice Expressive Storytelling

Expressive storytelling brings a story to life. When you read aloud — or write — a story, you use emotion words to show how characters feel and pacing cues to control how fast or slow the action moves. Together, these tools make your audience lean in and feel what the characters feel.
