Summary: <p>This week, we have something special — and a little different. We know from research that reading aloud is one of the best ways to turn kids into lifelong readers, and over the past 40 plus episodes, we’ve asked A LOT of talented authors to read aloud from their work. Today, we’ve stitched our picture book read-alouds together into one short episode that’s perfect for your 3- to 8-year-old!</p> <p>We’ll also hear from Tara Welty, editor-in-chief of <em>Scholastic Teacher</em>, about their 50 Brilliant Books for Summer List.</p> <p><strong>Additional Resources:</strong></p> <ul> <li>More information about <em><a href="https://store.scholastic.com/Books/Hardcovers/The-Rooster-Who-Would-Not-Be-Quiet" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Rooster Who Would Not Be Quiet! </a></em><a href="https://store.scholastic.com/Books/Hardcovers/The-Rooster-Who-Would-Not-Be-Quiet" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><br></a> </li> <li> <a href="http://oomscholasticblog.com/podcast/rooster-who-would-not-be-quiet-giving-children-voice" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Listen to our episode with Carmen Agra Deedy</a>, author of <em>The Rooster Who Would Not Be Quiet!</em> </li> <li>More information about <a href="https://store.scholastic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchCmd?storeId=11301&langId=-11301&catalogId=16551&krypto=QwH2mf2IvhJTYpBqEz4l8crG4JHMEKudxZjJyhLiCAf0vuigZBN6qmf8nZEb7QSd5it5UnhmNDU6MXI1CXUF1VGDc942iQvsFWktdNODra5XLe5ljLQdrHaQNq%2BCRNq%2BUgQSchXPDQLd1wdQYb25qw%3D%3D&ddkey=https%3ASearchCmd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><em>Happy Dreamer </em><br></a> </li> <li> <a href="http://oomscholasticblog.com/podcast/amazing-delightful-happy-dreamer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Listen to our episode with Peter H.
