World Read Aloud Day

3/7/2012

1 Comment

 
You just can't deny the power of the read aloud to build community, reach into the hearts of students, model good reading strategies, and...simply share a good story. Most of my day is broken up into a whirlwind of half hour periods with small groups of students K-5. Although I try to share stories and poems as often as possible, sometimes the urgency of the needs of my students causes me to forget that I also need to make time for other things that are important. So today, in celebration of World Read Aloud Day, I made it a point to share a favorite read aloud with all my groups. We did our word sorts, practiced fluency, built vocabulary, and applied comprehension strategies, but we also shared a story - and that can make all the difference.

Be sure to check out the Stenhouse Blog where you can listen to several wonderful authors read from their work.
