Reading aloud to children is a routine that parents have incorporated in their homes-and teachers in their schools-for millennia. It has served as a tool for parent-child bonding and teacher-student instruction, and for good reason: children who are read to reap a host of social, emotional, cognitive, and even physiological benefits. In Read Alouds for All Learners: A Comprehensive Plan for Every Subject, Every Day, Grades PreK-8, Molly Ness demonstrates that the read aloud has slowly been falling out of practice in homes and schools alike, and this has had sobering consequences on children's vocabulary acquisition and retention, verbal reasoning and syntactical understanding, and their social and emotional capacity. She provides teachers with practical tools and lessons from her own experience to guide them in creating an effective read aloud routine. Supported by current research and personal experiences, Read Alouds for All Learners is at once a compelling case for the reintegration of the read aloud in schools and a step-by-step resource for K-8 educators who need guidance on how to structure an impactful read aloud ritual in their classrooms--
