I'm back! Hooray!

I am so glad to be blogging once again.  I have been working on my Master's Thesis for a Master's degree in reading instruction.  I turned in my final copy today.  Hooray!  Unless something unforseen happens, it should be complete.  My thesis is a lot like this blog, but it tells parents what to say step by step for 12 books, with 6 read-alouds per book.  I geared it towards parents that are not familiar with reading to their kids and may not be confident in their reading skills.  This blog is for parents who probably already read with their children, but are looking for research proven read-aloud techniques and/or fun new read-aloud ideas.
