Shared Reading in English

Shared Reading for English speakers. We meet, listen to and talk about short English texts, in English. No preparations required.

What is Shared Reading?

At Shared Reading groups, a trained Reader Leader selects stories and poems to read aloud together. Everyone is welcome to share how the words make them feel, as well as their thoughts, ideas and memories. There is no pressure to talk or read aloud.

Will I be asked to speak or read out loud?

Some people prefer to just listen, and we are happy to have everybody there. You will never feel pressured to talk or read. We always make sure that everybody has the opportunity to talk and share their thoughts, or to read aloud if they would like, however there’s no obligation or expectation to do so.

Do I need to bring anything with me?

Just bring yourself! At Shared Reading groups, you do not need to read anything in advance or know anything at all about the text we are reading or the person who wrote it. The group’s Reader Leader will bring copies of the stories and poems with them, and we will read them together at the group.

I haven’t read for ages, does that matter?

Not at all. Whether you’re an avid reader or have not picked up a book since school, you are extremely welcome. We meet lots of people who discover a new love for reading after attending Shared Reading, as well those who really enjoy coming to the group but never read outside of that.
