We will read together and talk about the stories, laugh with our favorite characters like the silly Pigeon, and return to these books again and again during centers/ small group time and breaks. Some of our students, two of whom are newcomers and all who are not yet reading print have shown growth in memorizing my voice and facial expressions during read-alouds and later on picking out the same book(s) and \"reading\" it back using the pictures, expression, and storytelling. I have seen a growth in confidence and excitement for literacy where there was once uncertainty, boredom, and even fear of a whole new language.\r\n\r\nMany students have formed special connections with these books through humor, self-reflection, and it is a wonderful thing to see and experience.
