Reading with Expression

I'm an elementary school teacher, so I am believe in reading everything I read with expression. Brian, having been read to since he was in utero, has picked up on this. He now spends time almost daily reading to himself. He curls up in his rocker, picks out a book, turns the pages himself and recites the parts he remembers. It's pretty funny to hear him recite, "This is George. George is a monkey. He's curious. And yellow hat." He paraphrases, as you can see. He looks angry in these pictures, but he's not. He's just reading with expression.
