Story Time Treasures
read aloud picture books by well-loved authors
These are the stories we read just before nap time and quiet time every afternoon. I choose an author, and then we read one book by that author each day. When we finish one author's work, we move on to another.

Story time Treasures
Read aloud chapter book by well-loved authors
I include these books in my children's reading lesson time after they finish the All About Reading Program. We read them together taking turns reading out loud. I pick the books we read based on my child's individual reading level. For example, for Audrey's fourth grade year, we read the Little House on the Prairie books together during her reading lesson time. We always take turns reading out loud to each other.
