Great post! Love your list of resources...Courtney,<br />Great post! Love your list of resources. Jim Trelease's The Read-Aloud Handbook is my most used and revered reference for sharing books with children. He introduces it with a poem by Strickland Gillilan "The Reading Mother" that reflects my childhood and supports my own personal practice:<br />You may have tangible wealth untold: <br />Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. <br />Richer than I you can never be-<br />I had a mother who read to me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03949117152710127292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920778030360224948.post-85826779668431263002015-11-18T14:15:37.659-06:002015-11-18T14:15:37.659-06:00Thanks, Kristin! It's hard as a reading specia...Thanks, Kristin! It's hard as a reading specialist to find time for a read-aloud. We have such a short time with the kids, I feel like they need to be reading in their own books with my support! Maybe we can make a goal for ourselves to start incorporating it once a week, starting with a short chapter book like Skeleton Man! I've never read it but am going to look into it for my 5th graders. <br /><br />We'll see about the blog :-) I need to finish getting used to Twitter first!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05711426312599087625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920778030360224948.post-63719904347102034382015-11-18T14:10:03.700-06:002015-11-18T14:10:03.700-06:00Love your comments, Kristin! ;)Love your comments, Kristin! ;)Colleen Noffsingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918152158762439928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3920778030360224948.post-89978163510277767372015-11-18T12:03:06.641-06:002015-11-18T12:03:06.641-06:00Courtney,
I just love your post! Thank you so muc...Courtney,<br /><br />I just love your post! Thank you so much for being a part of this blog book study- we are so lucky to have you in this study, in D100, and as part of the #D100bloggerPD crew! I must say- I have a weak spot for read alouds. I miss doing them dearly from when I was a classroom teacher and try and "guest read" in classrooms when I can! Two of my favorite class read alouds:<br />1: Witches by Roald Dahl. This is totally my mom's fault. I was a guest in her classroom once when I was little and she was reading this book to her students. The voices she made when reading are some that I can still hear to this day and the engagement on the student's faces is something I can't forget, either. And I was a child!<br />2. Skeleton Man by Joseph Bruchac. This is by far my most favorite book to read to students. It's a short chapter book and just flat out amazing. Every chapter ends with a cliffhanger and the pictures created in your mind from reading it are SO great. I seriously can't say enough about how awesome this read aloud is- and it also transitions into a nice mentor text for older kids. Plus there's a bonus- a sequel! Now, it's not as great as the first, but the kids ALWAYS fight over who gets to read it first- just because they were so captivated by the first book. <br /><br />Thanks again for your post- I hope to see your very own blog soon!!Reading and Owl of the Abovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11298096392661315370noreply@blogger.com
