The Power of a Read-Aloud
2/9/2019
From my earliest memories, I've always loved a good story. This love stems from the time spent in various relative's laps and getting read to every day. I've tried to instill this love of reading in my own kids and those kids who come through my classroom each year. Reading aloud provides a myriad of opportunities and benefits to all children of all ages and reading abilities. In our second grade classroom at PNA, we read aloud every day, sometimes several times a day. Some of the books are just to enjoy, some tie into our curriculum and some are ways to open discussions about current situations and emotions. "When you read aloud, you’re whetting a child’s appetite for reading." - Jim Trelease |
