Some chapters I assign as homework, and some we share by reading aloud. The sensation of reading aloud with my students was a surprise. My students squawked at the beginning of the school year when I told them we would be reading aloud. We are reading aloud to savor the book, to practice public speaking, to listen to the melody in language and to tap into the sense of wonder we had as children when someone read aloud to us. I’m grateful for the way my reading life was enriched by reading aloud with my students.
