Reading Connections

Accelerated Reader (a Rennaisance Learning product) offers a way to share your reading acheivements with their "Reading Snapshot." The reading snapshot can be set up for district, school, teacher, or class progress and is easy to print out. Look for it on the AR home page.

Listen to audio-recorded readings of former Consultants in Poetry Elizabeth Bishop, Gwendolyn Brooks and Robert Frost; Nobel Laureates Mario Vargas Llosa and Czeslaw Milosz, and renowned writers such as Ray Bradbury, Margaret Atwood, and Kurt Vonnegut read from their work at the Library of Congress.

With Presidents Day right around the corner, here are some ideas for read alouds. Each one has a link to a video of the read aloud. Check with your library staff if you're interested in finding a hard copy of a title as well.

• Duck For President by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin
• I Am Abraham Lincoln by Brad Meltzer

• If I were President by Catherine Stier
• Grace for President by Kelly DiPucchio
• President's Day by Margaret McNamara
