Jim Trelease Can Help!

Jim Trelease, the very popular "read-aloud guy" has posted a wonderful video on YouTube that you may want to take a look at.  Titled "How to Read a Book You Don't Want to Read," it offers a very practical way to get a job done when motivation might be lagging.  Jim Trelease's website also offers a myriad of literacy tips.  His brochures are available in our Verda James Library and many of the books he cites are on our library shelves awaiting eager readers!
