  The Rainbow Fish Presenter Presenter Listener Listener
Eye Contact          
The presenter set the stage with the younger child with a friendly opening, smiles and a few introductory comments or questions.          
The presenter was familiar enough with the text in order to present it without looking at every word.          
The book was held so the listener(s) could easily see the illustrations.          
The presenter demonstrated good use of voice inflection (gave the characters voices, changed the level of voice to bring excitement to the story).          
The presenter spoke clearly and at a pace so the listener(s) could easily understand the words.          
The presenter showed awareness of the audience by using good eye contact and addressing any issues during the presentation. (Remember: sometimes the best way to address a problem is to ignore it.)
