Each month I focus on a different author and read lots of books by them. I try to expose my students to authors they might not know or gravitate towards. I find that after our author study, students look for those authors at the library or fill their book boxes with books we have read in class. Here is my general yearly plan for which authors I like to study: I try to pick my author of the month for February based on the theme for "I Love to Read Month". For example, this year our focus was on oral reading, so I chose to do Robert Munsch for February seeing as he is an amazing oral storyteller. You can hear him read most of his stories on his website. I invited parents to come in to read their favourite Robert Munsch story to the class. It's fun for them to hear other adults read out loud! Then I'll just fill in June this year with someone different--maybe Laura Numeroff. There are other authors that I love that I might do instead--it all depends on the year and my mood! I also like: Laura Numeroff, Curious George, Franklin, Splat the Cat, Doreen Cronin, Leo Lionni, Fancy Nancy, etc. I have a bulletin board in my classroom library that I switch up each month with our author: Some days I just read and discuss a book by the author, and other days we might do a writing activity or craft. Here are some of my author study packs I use: Don't forget to check out the other parts of my Daily Schedule posts. Just click on any part of the picture below to check out how I structure my day:

Toneellezen biedt een andere vorm van samen lezen. Twee lezers (of meer) nemen de rol van een personage op zich en lezen de teksten hardop voor. De lezers voeren eigenlijk samen een toneelstukje op, maar dan zonder podium. De teksten bestaan voornamelijk uit dialogen, zodat de lezers elkaar steeds afwisselen. Zo bevordert toneellezen het leesplezier en het lezen met intonatie. De boeken kunnen ook als extra motivatie voor zwakke lezers gebruikt worden.

Though there is no shortage of book subscription boxes to choose from, you can never go wrong with Book of the Month. They have been around the longest (since 1926!), and their reputation for selecting the perfect books for people around the nation has only gotten better each year. If you’re looking for a box that focuses more on the goodies than the books (which is certainly not a crime), you won’t find that here. Though BOTM will occasionally include a random treat (see: ring pops in the May 2016 box), their main focus has always been on the books and
