A bit long, but Trumpet of the Swan is truly a classic and loved by many second graders.
>>> "Stewart, L" 07/28/10 5:57 PM >>> I know it's been done before but would you share your most favorite, highly engaging read-alouds for the start of school. My old standbys did not work well last year. My students weren't enchanted by Roald Dahl or Creecher's Love That Dog. I am looking for great, not too long, novels. I have many wonderful picture books to select from, but I would even like to hear of any newer ones. On that note I just purchased Miss Malarkey Leaves No Reader Behind by Judy Finchler and Kevin O'Malley and I really enjoyed it. It is about a teacher trying to find that one book for each of the children in her classroom that will turn them into readers. Thanks! Leslie Leslie R.
