Anyway, back to last weeks list. I read many of the books on my list last week, but not all. So, I am not going to add any new ones to my list. If I finish last weeks list early, I will read from the stacks, yes stacks, of books I have here in my home and the hundreds of books on my Kindle! There's always the library, too. I wanted to run to the library on Saturday, when I got the notice that Beach House by Mary Alice Monroe was ready to be picked up. But, I knew I still had many books to read so, I held my self back, but I will go and get it - yes, today! Anyway, I want to recommend The Fluent Reader by Timothy V. Rasinski.
![Fluent Reader- Revised & Expanded (2nd, 10) by Rasinski, Timothy [Paperback (2010)]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31zl-mQHjgL._SL160_.jpg)
He talks about the value of reading aloud to students and practicing oral reading in the classroom. He shares many great ideas to accomplish this. He discusses assisted reading and shows a model for effective learning. There is a CD that shows video clips, podcasts, and ready-to-print pages. My book is well bookmarked and I am ready to use many of his ideas in my classroom.
I decided to not read Skeleton Letters by Laura Childs. I've read several of her books and honestly it felt like the same old, same old.
Books still on my list:
