Read-Aloud Books & Classroom Resources for Grades 1-3

A great read-aloud does something nothing else in a classroom can: it puts 25 kids with completely different reading levels into the same story at the same time. I've seen it work and I've seen it fall apart, and the difference almost always comes down to book selection. This page has everything we've written on read-alouds — the lists, the strategy, and the free teacher's guide you can download and use tomorrow.
