At Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis, members of the C104, Voice and Diction class have the opportunity to read age-appropriate children’s literature to the classes of the 3-6 yr. olds at the IUPUI Center for Young Children (the campus child-care center and kindergarten.) Students read stories aloud to different age groups and it is required that students use their newly-acquired skills in articulation and vocal variety to bring the stories to life. Students read 3 different stories at 3 different times and are evaluated by teachers and informally by their young listeners. Reflection papers are required from the students after each reading session, as well as a final oral presentation about what they learned.
