Testing on your mind?
West Virginia schools will be testing during the month of May. A Read-Aloud volunteer stopped in the Kanawha County Public Library in Cross Lanes to pick up his annual list of "testing" books to read to Point Harmony Elementary students.! His stack included "Henry and Mudge take the Big Test” by Cynthia Rylant.The titles above are also possible choices.
Read Aloud West Virginia thanks the many sponsors and supporters who made
Read-a-Palooza 2013 such a success.
LISTEN: A message from Pocahontas County "What are you reading?" asks Pocahontas County Read Aloud in this radio announcement. You won't believe what a difference you can make. |

'An enjoyable activity'
When I missed a day because I was ill the students made cards for me and each read their card aloud to me and to the class the following week. I have been invited to talk about Read Aloud in my church hoping to attract volunteers. Read to young students is an enjoyable activity for me.
