content, vocabulary, language, and arts in the minds of any learner. Read‐
aloud can be a strong supporting structure for literacy learning across the
school day and can strengthen students’ abilities and achievement in
many subject areas.
Reading aloud across the curriculum is a practical way to expand teaching
and learning and to accomplish literacy‐based goals in four key subject
areas – math, social studies, language arts, and science. Classroom read
aloud can be used to scaffold understanding and increase student
engagement.
We all have our favorite childhood books. Mine were the Junie B. Jones books. I loved all of
her books, but one of my favorites is Junie B. Jones is a Beauty Shop Guy. When I was in 4th
Grade, I remember reading these books, and how it took me more than a week to read one,
but now I read them in, like, 15 minutes. It is amazing how things change. Now I read books
that are 300 pages or longer. Junie B. Jones books are only about 70 pages. These books
were my favorite because the author literally writes in Junie’s perspective. For example if
Junie does not know how to spell a word, the author just writes it the way Junie might think
it’s spelled. She makes reading her books fun and enjoyable for little kids. – Roxana S.
I love the story of Cinderella. It’s everything a little girl imagines. It has love,
family, and a happy ending. I like how the author makes it funny and unrealistic
but what I don’t understand is why, out of all the other animals, he chose rats to
be in the story. Girls don’t like rats, or mice. Another thing that I would like to
know is why the author chose for the stepmother to be wicked. Why couldn’t
her father have died and her stepfather been wicked? In all, the word choice and
adjectives the author used is very remarkable. He didn’t choose very hard
words, making it seem like he was only trying to capture young audiences, but
still made it appealing to older audiences too. ‐ Stephanie M.
