They give students a different kind of access to the power of story, to deeply understand, to think, to learn and ponder ideas about the world, about the lives of other people and about ourselves.

After hearing Mrs. Flowers read out loud so smoothly and effortlessly, Marguerite realizes that reading out loud is not as bad as it seems. In the story “Raymond’s Run”, a young girl nicknamed Squeaky has to take care of her older brother, Raymond, who has a disability. Squeaky does not mind taking care of Raymond, as long as he does not meddle

attention. Unfortunately, two of her nieces were in my class, and they were obviously her favorite students. They didn’t like reading out loud either so this meant I was definitely getting called on. I knew that day I would have many ‘reading opportunities’. I had a love/hate relationship with this class, and mostly a hate relationship with reading.
