I have my Ph.D. in English, specializing in Children's Literature. My lively and energetic reading will engage your young learner! Class will begin with a brief explanation of how to make teddy bear toast. While they eat, I will read the hilarious picture book, Tea Party Rules by Ame Dyckman. Coloring sheets will be provided to keep little hands busy. Teddy bears and tea party costumes are highly recommended! Students will have the opportunity to share their snack, teddy bears, and pictures with the class. If time allows, class will end with a poem about bears. Reading aloud is one of the most important things we do every day. According to Dr. Joseph Price, "[O]ne extra day per week of parent-child [or teacher-child] read-aloud sessions during the first ten years of a child's life increases standardized test scores by half a standard deviation. That's as many as 15-30 percentile points" (Sarah Mackenzie, The Read-Aloud Family, pg. 63-64). *Students will be muted while I read to eliminate distracting background noise, but we will have interactive breaks. *I recommend putting Zoom on “Active Speaker View” instead of “Gallery View” in the top right hand corner. *The 20 minute time allotment is a rough estimate. Class may be slightly shorter or longer.

“People would stand in line for days and pay hundreds of dollars if there were a pill that could do everything for a child that reading aloud does. It expands their interest in books, vocabulary, comprehension, grammar, and attention span.” (Jim Trelease, The Read-Aloud Handbook)Reviews
