In Defense of Read Aloud by Steven L. Layne**

"Sustaining Best Practice"
Daily CAFE recommended this book in their weekly email letter.  "The Sisters" love Dr. Layne!
I could have read this professional book in one sitting!
Dr. Layne's writing style is conversational.  He is motivating -sometimes in your face!  He is humorous.  Most importantly he is not afraid to speak the truth in an articulate manner.
All of his points are backed by solid research.
This book will not only motivate a teacher (and parent) to read aloud to their students/children but it also gives vital suggestions on how to read aloud well and provides a long list of great books to share.
**Highly, highly recommend.
If I could , I would give a copy of this book to every teacher I know!
