Your genuine enthusiasm for learning transfers to your students who come to believe that learning is actually a pleasure. I think you're both onto something.danwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06716577295663429569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11431002.post-47572415388790986552007-05-07T22:50:00.000-07:002007-05-07T22:50:00.000-07:00Read-alouds present a wonderful opportunity to int...Read-alouds present a wonderful opportunity to introduce students to a variety of genres and have them reach for new heights. I have seen the eagerness of many new readers to master sight words and become proficient readers so that they can read a Junie B. Jones, Arthur or Magic Tree House chapter book independently after hearing them read aloud in class. I have also seen the power of a genre study with our youngest readers. The excitement they show when self-selecting a non-fiction book from the library and their eagerness to discover new facts is wonderful. One of my little friends told me the other day in her reading group..."This is fun!". I hope she will be reading Harry Potter in a few years!Junie B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00236519310026354662noreply@blogger.com
