Summary
Read-aloud is a time of enjoyment and relaxation for teachers and students--a time when powerful, effective teaching and rigorous learning can take place while keeping the pleasures of reading front and center. Reconsidering Read-Aloud invites you to examine both the spontaneous and planned conversations that take place around read-aloud. Drawing on her career as a 4th- and 5th-grade teacher and her knowledge of children's literature, Mary Lee Hahn shows you how to make your read-alouds count.
