What do you think of it?<BR/><BR/>Read-alouds: with 7th grade I'm reading Edwige Danticat's <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Behind-Mountains-First-Person-Fiction/dp/0439372992/sr=8-8/qid=1158142871/ref=pd_bbs_8/102-8716436-4020115?ie=UTF8&s=books" REL="nofollow">Behind the Mountains</A>. They are really enjoying it and relating to it, and there are many great things to discuss. With 8th grade I just finished <A HREF="http://www.amazon.com/Between-Two-Worlds-LeAnne-Hardy/dp/0825427932/sr=8-1/qid=1158143007/ref=sr_1_1/102-8716436-4020115?ie=UTF8&s=books" REL="nofollow">Between Two Worlds</A> by LeAnne Hardy. Again, the kids really related to this. When I was finished I asked them to write what they thought of it in their notebooks, and all but one said they really liked it. <BR/><BR/>How about you? Read-alouds that have gone well?Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12463332371535167975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26800186.post-1158107138626389462006-09-12T17:25:00.000-07:002006-09-12T17:25:00.000-07:00I agree!!!

If I ask them to read out loud right after I've read to them, they read differently than if they just started out reading on their own. <BR/><BR/>I love read-alouds! What books have you had good success with?<BR/><BR/>MissDe (I can't comment as me until you upgrade to Beta)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
