Reading. Everyday we do it. Most of the time, we don't think about it. We see a picture on a billboard and we read the advertisement. We read words on TV commercials. We read letters, emails, texts, books. Children these days are struggling with reading. It is the subject that is being pushed in schools all across the nation, because it is such a fundamental skill to properly function in school and society. I have prepared a short newsletter with information I have gleaned from reading Jim Trelease's book, The Read-Aloud Handbook. There is just some information about reading aloud, and then I have added some tips and resources that teachers and parents alike can use to encourage and develop the necessary, yet rewarding skill of reading!
