I usually reply just to the person with the query, but this was so powerful for me
I thought I'd share will all.
In the (January?) School Library Journal there was an article that was the first of
a series about teaching the ART in picture books. I'm not going to be very good at
paraphrasing the article, I can tell already, but my "take away" was that I wasn't
having fun reading to my K students because I was squelching all the fun they
needed to be having looking at all the details. I used to try to coach kids when I
was going to be telling a story that "Needs no interruptions!" (really) and when
it was a book "we can stop and talk about every once in awhile" Now I realize I
need to let my audience be fully participating and helping to decide when we
interrupt.
Anyway - the article is really good. Either in the January or Feb issue. I've
passed on my copy and I'm too lazy to check into the website for you right now. ;)
