How can reading out loud encourage better stories?

Mr Hunt: So I'd like you to read Oscar, personality and actions.

Oscar: My name's Oscar. When I'm writing a story, I find it hard because some of the words, I don't know. What helps me write a better story is to read out loud.

Mr Hunt: As teachers, we always talk about pitch, tone and intonation or how you should read, or how you should change your voice when you read and I always tell my children, stories re meant to be written on paper, but they're not meant to stay there. They're meant to me read out loud, otherwise it's letters on paper. As well as my drop down mic, we have a pass around one for the children. The reason why we use it is because when children in Year 3 / 4, they're ages 8 and 9. They've got small voices and when they read their stories, they're aware that some children at the other end of the classroom, might not be able to hear them and they don't put their hand up to them read their stories because they're aware of this, but by giving them a pass around mic which we use, they know that when they speak, everyone can hear.
