Reading aloud to children is one of my favorite activities of the day and it is a critical part of literacy instruction. In my classroom, I integrate children’s literature across the curriculum and read to the children throughout the day. The read-aloud books I choose for the first week of school help set the tone for the year and help begin to build our classroom community.

And as soon I got them, I was lying under the covers with my nose buried in a book. Unfortunately, not all boys have that kind of enthusiasm for reading. For several decades now, boys have scored lower on reading assessment tests than girls.
Top 10s: My favourite coming-of-age novels - Reading Matters
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers (1940) This isn't a typical coming-of-age novel, given that it's told from the perspective of four very divergent characters: a young girl, a drunken socialist, a black doctor and a sympathetic deaf mute. But in many ways each of the characters share similarities: they are yearning for something that will help them "grow" emotionally. But my favourite character from this book is the delightful Mick Kelly, who teeters between being a playful tomboy and a proper young lady. Her "journey" is a heartfelt one: a poor girl who has an amazing amount of creative energy but doesn't know how to channel it in a fulfilling way. It's not until she has some kind of "awakening" that she realises she is growing up and that her destiny is in her hands...

Thank you, Friends! I decided to compile a list with all 65 of our favorites!Written by Daya Cozzolino, TE Instructional Coach In my first year as an elementary school teacher, I learned the beauty of the read aloud.

However, it wasn’t until I had my own classroom that I learned the true value of read aloud books. In just my first month of teaching, I realized that a good book could calm my students down, engage them, inspire them and instruct them in a way that connected to their lives. Through those books, I also learned many lessons about teaching, about my students, and even about myself.
