Grades PreK-2

How do you do a read-aloud? Bobbi Fisher and her daughter Emily Fisher Medvic are authorities on the subject. Through their collective experience as classroom teachers and personal memories of read-alouds, they have come to believe in and promote this practice as the most important component in literacy learning. Their book shows teachers how they can set up their first and subsequent read-alouds to achieve a powerful early literacy program of their own.

The authors draw on their classroom experiences with children from prekindergarten through grade 2, and include ideas from other teachers who have shared

their favourite read-aloud books and projects. As children meet characters and engage in listening to stories together, they gather experiences that will become part of a shared narrative throughout the year. This in turn becomes the basis for children to relate to each other, learn about the world, and

build a caring learning community.
