50 Favorite Read Aloud Picture and Chapter Books - Edventures with Kids. Today is a double celebration at our house -- first, it's my daughter's birthday so we're doing all the things she loves :) and second, it's World Read Aloud Day!

She's always been one of those kids who would grab a book and hand it to the closest adult -- and then she would go about her business while listening to the story.

" I hope the list inspires you to curl up with a book this week! Toys Go Out. Model Think-Aloud strategy on Vimeo#at=5. Think Alouds.
