EPISODE 28 On episode 27, I talked all about how to create an effective literacy block even if you are limited on time. Today is a continuation of that conversation as I discuss how to get creative in finding pockets of time throughout your day to squeeze in more read alouds!   If you are even slightly as obsessed with picture books as I am, then you probably are dying to get to as many as possible throughout the year. We have to find ways to read to our kids just for fun, not because it’s in the standards or because we need to practice a skill for an upcoming test, but actually for pure enjoyment. While it’s true that you can’t actually create more time in the day, as the teacher you CAN control how you use the time in your classroom. Ready to learn how you can make read alouds happen more often?   In this episode I share: -Six possible pockets of time for read alouds -Why finding extra time to read aloud to your students will pay off -The best advice I received from a college professor    Resources mentioned: -Head to stellarteacher.com/waitlist to get on the waitlist for the Stellar Teacher Membership! -FREE Literacy Block Sample Schedules + Planning Guide -Come join us in my NEW Facebook group, Upper Elementary Reading Teachers -Download the Stellar Teacher Summer Series Calendar   For full show notes and more resources, head to stellarteacher.com/podcast/episode28.    Connect with me: Join my newsletter My TPT store stellarteachercompany.com Instagram: @thestellarteachercompany Facebook: The Stellar Teacher Company
