Sometimes I use the images to wrap up a day's read aloud and guide the discussion. Sometimes I just scroll through the images as I read. I tried to be careful that none of the references or comments gave away plot points, so doing them before each day should be fine.

A shared book can be a powerful tool to use the rest of the year beyond just the lessons in the book itself. <br /><br />To Cristina, I like to read aloud for at least 15 minutes, but I also like to stop at natural breaks in the text, like chapters.

And even if it ends up being easy text for the majority, students can then put more energy into digesting the content rather than decoding it. <br /><br />BrianBrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013704768386977357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-878030636182377071.post-87941993497169400902015-06-17T14:49:20.359-05:002015-06-17T14:49:20.359-05:00I found a link to this on Pinterest and am so glad...I found a link to this on Pinterest and am so glad I clicked on it!
