7. Five Read Aloud Mistakes I Made in My Classroom (and how to fix them!)

Ever find yourself frantically searching for the perfect book minutes before your students arrive? We've all been there! I remember grabbing "You Matter" by Christian Robinson for a story elements lesson, only to realize halfway through there weren't any story elements to teach. Between lesson planning, grading, meetings, and fitting in required curriculum, it's no wonder our read alouds sometimes feel scattered.

In this episode, I'm sharing the five biggest read aloud mistakes I made (and exactly how I fixed them). You'll learn practical strategies for making your read alouds more meaningful without adding to your already full plate. Because once I identified these common mistakes and found simple solutions, everything changed - and I know it can for you too!
