Your listening skills and voice are affected by our posture. Note that the timbre (sound)
and rhythm of your voice are impacted by the way our body is positioned. Below are
some suggestions to optimize your reading.
Head:
your head should rest
comfortably above your spine.
Like
you are suspended from a string!
Lips:
Slightly push your
lips forward and avoid
straining the back of
your neck.
Like you are
touching your lips to a
microphone.
Stomach:
breathe
gently while using your
diaphragm to allow your
stomach to move in and out
slowly.
Like the waves of the sea!
Back:
sit straight without over
rounding or pressing too
firmly into the chair with
the lower back.
Feet:
place feet
flat on the ground
and space apart
the same width
as your hips.
Like
a tree rooted in the
ground!
Children can imagine that they’re
a tree. Their feet are the roots
reaching into the ground, their
back is the straightened trunk,
and their head is the foliage.
Mime the rain coming down to
water the tree and watch them
grow, grow, grow!
FOR CHILDREN
