The 25 read-aloud plans in this teaching resource provide a brief summary of each advanced picture or nonfiction book, and suggest questions to pose while reading each chapter aloud to the class. The second half of the book recommends poetry and story collections for independent readers, and provides reproducible pull-out pages for informing parents about reading aloud to their children. * Reference & Research Book News *
