Robert Eiffert's comments on reading aloud

[Phyllis Roche <pmroche@COMCAST.NET>]

I am in a K-8 School and I read to all of my students but I don't read
novels to them or if I do, I read the first chapter to them and then
check out the book to the classroom teacher. The kids will then bug them
to finish the book.
I read picture books to them. There are many book lists and articles
written on using picture books with older kids. One of the best authors
for it is Van Allsburg. His books are perfect and strange. That helps.
Maybe people can write in and tell what picture book authors they use
for their older students.
