I don’t get the chance to read aloud to students very
often. But for a few years running I
participated in a program that was part of the Arkansas Literary Festival where
students from rural areas were bused into Little Rock for a read aloud the
event at the Governor’s Mansion.
Readers had a set amount of time to read to their groups,
then the group moved on to another reader.
It didn’t matter much which book I read to them. Since my own books are too long to read in
their entirety, sometimes I’d show them photos from the book and read the
captions. Then I’d move on to read
nonfiction picture books to them.
Like in any group of students, some were engrossed in each
book and hung on every word and others were squirming around. But I hope in those few moments each of them
captured a sweet memory of reading books on a beautiful spring day.
