I loved this video. Thank you! I really enjoyed reading How to Steal a Dog and Restart, and I want to read Wish and the others you mentioned. It’s so great to see kiddos love reading. 😊 I have enjoyed reading to kids since I was a kid myself, and absolutely as a teacher.
When I was teaching, this was my favorite part of the day! LOVED reading to my students. I would read Wonder to my 5th graders. When I had middle school, I taught a very difficult 7th grade class. They all "hated" reading and had poor test scores. I knew I was going to have them so I spent most of my summer searching for the perfect read aloud. I chose The Face on the Milk Carton. I purposely would stop at all the cliff hangers. They would BEG me to keep reading! At the end, I had a boy who literally went to Barnes and Noble and purchased all of Caroline B Cooney's books. Mission accomplished!
Some of my favorites… I teach third grade. Absolute favorite historic fiction is The Ravenmaster’s Secret: Escape for the Tower of London (Chef’s Kiss) I really like Restart too. Read aloud is my favorite time of the day. It is my nonnegotiable.
Noooo! No skipping curse words! It brings me so much joy to say the curse word in a whisper and the kids reactions are hysterical! I do tell them at the beginning that the author used words for a specific reason and we will read it as the author has written it. 😂 all the books you shared are amazing.
