The Read-Aloud Handbook: Seventh Edition | 
One of the four lectures I am doing here in Bandung, Indonesia. What a privilege to be able to travel to different parts of the world to talk about my favourite things. The effusive and warm welcome is quite unforgettable.
I‘m going to be reading aloud weekly on YouTube! I initially said fb live but then realized that would exclude my list fam! If you‘re interested in being read to, the survey link is below. :) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf0qBRkdaUZgwQa9uSiX1xG6hZjDXGnpBaxId2V...
(Day 29: Complementary Colors) Trelease‘s book is a gem. First part is a discussion of the research and filled with anecdotes. My personal input: Never stop reading to your kids. You think they‘ve outgrown it? They haven‘t. l read Dr. Seuss to high school students and Skippy Jon Jones to middle schoolers: They loved it. Last part is filled with great books for read-alouds. #ColormePretty @Sweetkokoro
pickAn indispensable classic for both parents and educators.
Scholastic Warehouse Sale 2018: Haul 1 of 2. This is what my volunteer hours afforded me after one 8.5 hour shift. I took advantage of the BOGO Build a Box (24.95 for 2 boxes!) and used the remainder in the general sale section. Notice that some of the best books are piled 2 to 5 high! #BookHaul #LitCircles #ISOmoreshelves
Artistic as it might have been, it was still repetitious labor done in stifling factories. To break the monotony, workers hit upon the idea of having someone read aloud to them while they worked, known in the trade as la lectura. The reader (of which there were hundreds in the Tampa area alone) usually sat on an elevated platform or podium in the middle of the room and read aloud for four hours, covering newspapers, classics, and even Shakespeare.
Number one grandson went home today. Before he left, he gave us a lesson in setting an example of being readers for our kids and grandkids. Papa and Nana read the newspaper in the morning, and Luke insisted on doing the same.
Here is one final resource for effective read aloud's and their importance. Good luck in TeachLivE next week! http://edublog.scholastic.com/post/riveting-read-alouds-how-and-why-read-aloud-o...
#bookmail Since @Ambrosnazzy is busy getting ready to go back to work next week after more than two years home with her son, I can post this picture of two books that arrived today that are gifts for her. She wanted a crockpot cookbook, and I wanted to get her the read-aloud book. I'll buy a copy for our son and DIL after their baby arrives, too.
#uglycover @RealLifeReading #somethingforsept I have a hard time even looking at this cover. The fluorescent orange/bright blue/ white combo burns my eyes and makes me feel like I'm going to get a migraine. Worst cover ever.
