The Magical Gift of Reading Aloud
I thought I'd follow up last month's article about the importance of reading aloud to children of all ages with a few tips that summarize some basic reading aloud "techniques". I've broken the suggestions down by age level and have directed it towards parents and caregivers particularly, so that we may all play a role from the very beginning of life with our children in handing down the magical gift of reading for enjoyment.

Using the Think-Aloud in Reading Instruction
<p>As a member of the <a href="http://www.reading.org/publications/rt/rteacherdirections.html">RTEACHER
listserv</a>, I've noticed many recent questions about the use of a process
known as "Thinking-Aloud" during reading instruction. This concept
has caught the attention of many elementary and middle school teachers
who are asking questions like...What is a think-aloud?...When do I model
the use of this think-aloud behavior? For those teachers that break
their reading instruction down into different segments, you may find yourself
asking questions like...do I interrupt my regular read-aloud time (when
my students are listening pure enjoyment) or do I use this more during
shared or guided reading time? Others are wondering...can I expect
my students to also think-aloud or is this just something I continue to
model as a strategy that good readers (or listeners) use as they interact
with text? These and other good questions have inspired me to focus
this month's issue on locating relevant online resources that may assist
teachers seeking answers for how to effectively use think-aloud strategies
in their reading instruction.

FOR THE LOVE OF BOOKS
As a child I discovered the world of books. I could lie for hours under the shade of a tree, or on my bed and travel the world over between the covers of a good book. What adventures I had. Now, years later, I have taught my grandsons the love of books. The love of literacy is one of the greatest legacy's you can give your children. Give the gift of love. Give a book.
