Welcome to Read Aloud Today!

Welcome to the start of a new blog: Read Aloud Today! - a celebration of children's books, reading out loud, reading for fun and sharing great books.

I am so lucky that reading children's books is part of my job as a K-8 libray media specialist.

I love to share books and read aloud - with students and my own children.

There is something special about a shared read aloud experience. And there also something special about being the person reading out loud - conecting to word choices and the rhythm of the text in a physical way.

This site was created to celebrate that - old favorites & new finds - picture books, chapter books and nonfiction.
