Today is Litworld’s World Read Aloud Day. As someone who has always read aloud to her class it is a celebration I can totally get behind. Right now, in preparation for Jack Gantos’ visit to our school in May, I’m reading aloud to my fourth grade class his Newbery winner Dead End in Norvelt. Earlier in the year I read aloud Carman Agra Deedy and Randall Wright’s The Cheshire Cheese Cat with great success so I’m delighted to see it as a finalist for the E. B. White Read Aloud Award. Here are a few favorites of the many posts I’ve done on this topic:
- Reading Aloud Hugo Cabret
- Reading Aloud as Community Building
- Reading Aloud When You Reach Me
- Reading Aloud Redux
- Reading Aloud The Graveyard Book
- Reading Aloud the Latke Who Couldn’t Stop Screaming
- Reading Aloud Casey at the Bat
- Reading Aloud Alice in Wonderland
- Reading Aloud The Tale of Despereaux
- Reading Aloud Coraline
