Reading your comment made my day!!!  I love how quiet and eager students get during read aloud time, too. Reading aloud to children is one of my favorite things to do. I don't think reading aloud is ever outgrown either. I know I loved when my university professors read aloud to me. I also love that you encourage your students to take home non-fiction text to spark conversations between parents and students!!!! I bet they love it, too!! Thanks again for sharing, Debbie! :) Debbie: Thanks for taking the time to respond and share such positive literacy experiences. Reading your comment made my day!!!

We've always favored a more holistic approach to education. Too often our children are treated as if the classroom were an assembly line. some great discussion, thanks So happy to hear this.
