It’s amazing how the stories come alive in the classroom.ĭuring this time, I also model how good readers stop and think about what's happening in the story. Since the majority of my students have not been read to, I do the voices so the students get an understanding of dialogue and how everything flows.Īfter we read our first novel, I have students who take on character parts and read the dialogue out loud like a play. When I started teaching, I knew I wanted to do the same thing for my students, so I made a commitment to read at least 3 novels aloud. Without her, no one would have read aloud to me, and I would have no idea about the magic of a good book. I may not remember who was in my third grade class, or even the name of the teacher, but I do remember the stories read to us from the wooden stool-Island of the Blue Dolphins, The Indian in the Cupboard, Sarah Plain and Tall, and Superfudge.Īlthough I didn’t realize it at the time, my third grade teacher ignited a love of reading that has lasted to this day. As my teacher read aloud, I got lost in the story. I remember pulling out my copy of Island of the Blue Dolphins, brushing my fingertips over the image of the proud girl standing on the cliff with her hair blowing in the wind, and eagerly opening up to the page we left off the day before. With this action, I knew we were about to start my favorite part of the day, read aloud time. I can still see my teacher pulling the wooden stool out from the corner of the classroom and placing it in front of our desks. *This book may have minor shelfwear.I don’t remember much about my awkward childhood, but there is a memory from 3rd grade that vividly stands out in my mind. Can Sonny lie her way to the truth, or will all her lies end up costing her both Ryder and Amy? So Sonny comes up with an elaborate scheme to help Ryder realize that she's the girl he's really wanted all along.
Only there's one small catch: he thinks he's been talking to Amy. And to her horror, she realizes that she might actually 'like' him. But without meaning to, Sonny ends up talking to Ryder all night online.
So when Ryder emails Amy asking her out, the friends see it as a prank opportunity not to be missed. Ryder's the new kid at Hamilton High and everything Sonny and Amy can't stand - a prep-school snob. Amy Rush might be the only person Sonny shares everything with - secrets, clothes, even a nemesis named Ryder Cross. And she lies about sneaking into her best friend's house every night because she has nowhere else to go. Revisit Hamilton High in thismust read for all fans of The DUFF - co-starring Bianca and Wesley.
