Thank you for sharing this piece about your ...Alan,<br />Thank you for sharing this piece about your read aloud experience. To this day I love a good read aloud. I adore the sentence, "Words whispered, words stretched, words squeezed and words exulted. " This line breathes life into the words, much like our reading brings a book to life.<br />Keep on writing!<br />ErinMagical Ms. Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594444785515534365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-45901836577573615122011-03-15T23:14:38.969+11:002011-03-15T23:14:38.969+11:00Alan,

That performance can make or break student's interest in the book which can lead to desire to read. Also the talk before, during, and after the book is vital. Too often I have seen teachers just say the words of the book instead of really 'reading' and enjoying the experience. Love, love, love Anthony Browne books and I have Ray's book waiting for me to read it.elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348895330633879894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-36186330272706097372011-03-15T17:46:02.667+11:002011-03-15T17:46:02.667+11:00Alan,

Thanks for including the information about the books. I need to see if I can find the Piggybook. Katie Rays book sounds good to.LibraryDragon/Storykeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695194443477630515noreply@blogger.com
