What is the difference between storytelling and read aloud?

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

Storytelling

usually

is reciting a story from memory

and can also include making up a story on the spot.

Reading aloud

is obviously easier

because the words of the story are there in front of you.

Answer 2

Reading aloud involves spoken language, but at the same time a printed text is present. This means that during story reading both oral and written language are modeled at once. On the other hand, storytelling does not require the presence of a printed text.

Answer 3

Many sensible answers already, and I'll just add that while lots of people read aloud to themselves, I don't think many people do "story telling" without an audience.

Answer 4

Hi,

There is a minor difference between both, Reading aloud involves a spoken language, but at the same time, a printed text is present. This means that during story reading both oral and written language are modeled at once. On the other hand, storytelling does not require the presence of a printed text.

Answer 5

Storytelling requires memory or thinking about what you're saying.

Answer 6

One is telling (not reading) a story, the other is reading (anything) aloud.

Answer 7

Story telling is to dramatize the story. Give it life, act the parts.

Reading aloud has none of that art.

Answer 8

not much difference
