| Title | Reading Aloud to Your Students |
| Body | Did you know that last Thursday was Read Across America Day? This post to the FLTEACH listserv describes how one French teacher finds that her high school students seem to enjoy observing this day each year as she reads children's picture books to them. ---- I always take this day to read a book to my students!! They are high school students, but they love to sit on the floor in a circle like in grade school (and I never ask them to do this; they always ask if they can). Hey, in level one, they learn colors and numbers and lots of other little-kid things, so this is another. In case you wonder what I read, let me see... This year I'm reading Betty and Rita go to Paris to my level ones. This is a WONDERFUL book. http://www.janmag.com/artcult/bettyrita.html . I've made transparencies of the illustrations because it's too big a class to have them gather round and see it (but they still ask to sit on the floor). Im reading André François Villeneuve to level 2 (an old book, a classic story about the adventures of a dog who fights dragons, rescues a princess, etc. -- about on the level of Spot, Dick and Jane stories, with big pictures), Qu'est-ce qu'on dit, mon petit to the 3's, And Il pleut des hamburgers to the level 4/5 class. You should ALL try to read to your kids on Thursday. It's always really a good experience for all, and kids' books don't really take long to read. Blaz, D. Re: Teaching with big books.
