The Ramped-Up Read Aloud: What to Notice as You Turn the Page [Grades PreK-3] (Corwin Literacy): What to Notice as You Turn the Page

My wife is a teacher and loves this book, helps explain and give more for the kids to do during reading time

Got a copy for each grade level at my school!

PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT!! Such a great resource for read alouds with a purpose! The suggested books are great (so far I have found them all used on amazon). The chapters are super well laid out and the "lessons" are awesome. If you want to "ramp up" your read alouds (and be able to justify their purpose to admin), this book is the ticket! Ditto for her "Shake Up Shared Reading". The Shake Up Shared Reading goes even further with 1 and sometimes 2 re-reads with an extended learning target.

Maria's encyclopedic knowledge of quality children's literature paired with her deep understanding of effective literacy instruction come together in this book to create an invaluable resource for K-3 teachers. Maria guides teachers in choosing diverse, engaging books to read aloud to students then lays out for them how these books can be used to support important literacy skill development. Not only did I learn of new children's literature titles by reading the book but I also came across some strategies that were new to me to implement with my students. I am excited to use both the books and the strategies with my students all in the hopes of developing strong literacy learners who love books!

Colourful. Packed with ideas for new language learning.
