### In the lessons

At school, children read aloud to the class, to a partner or to a parent at home; reading aloud helps with fluency and expression. In maths, teachers ask pupils to «think aloud» to explain how they solved a problem. In stories, a character «laughed aloud» or «wondered aloud». Phrases: read aloud, say it aloud, laugh aloud, think aloud, wonder aloud.
