Burkis and
Yaris offer one resource for choosing books for discussion.
A short
excerpt:
“Rich conversations support deeper understanding during read
aloud, but sometimes time constraints can limit opportunities to discuss
stories. We, along with a number of dear colleagues, have been collecting read
aloud titles that are short, yet dense enough to support rich conversations.
In collaboration with our Good to Great friends–members of our
#G2Great Professional Learning Network PLN*, which was founded around Dr. Mary
Howard’s book Good to
Great Teaching. The group has compiled a list of some
of our favorite short-but-deep read aloud titles. The books on this list
are brief enough to read in one sitting, yet engaging enough to
invite thoughtful conversation. Each story succinctly offers beautifully
integrated print and illustration, giving students much to explore and
talk about. Such textual engagement is the cornerstone of our new
book, Who’s Doing the
Work? and the
core of all our work with students and teachers.
Most importantly, Book
Source (@thebooksource) has agreed to assemble these titles in one place
for us (and for you) and to donate two-percent of purchases of titles on
this list. The two percent will be donated to students who live on
Native American reservations in Minnesota–many of whom do not have books in
their homes or access to a public library–giving them the opportunity to choose
books they can keep. In particular, this effort has been designed to support
their summer reading. Click the image below to access the list at Booksource
and help put books in the hands of Native American students this summer.”
