This summer on the podcast we’re going to be taking a break from our normal content. This past year has been draining for everyone, especially teachers, and we wanted to do what we could to help educators take a breather. For the next several weeks we’ll be sharing samples from some of our audiobooks, and we hope that you’re able sit back, relax, and enjoy these read alouds.Today on the podcast, we have a sample from Rebecca Bellingham’s audiobook The Artful Read-Aloud. The Artful Read-Aloud is a user-friendly guide that builds a bridge between the artistic world and the classroom, providing a deeper dive into the artistry of reading aloud. Rebecca draws on her experience as a performer, teaching artist, classroom teacher, and literacy coach to make explicit connections between the arts and reading aloud, providing dozens of easy moves teachers can make that can enhance, elevate, and deepen the impact of interactive read-alouds.In this preview, Rebecca explains why read alouds matter in the classroom, even in our increasingly tech-filled classrooms. If you’d like to hear more, you can head over to our new audiobooks feed where you can browse our full catalogue and listen to more samples.
