Students develop an appreciation for literature when they hear good literature read the way the author intended. When students have their own copy of the book to follow along with during a read-aloud, they also practice good reading skills. My fourth grade students are learning remotely this year, and to hear me read James and the Giant Peach aloud while following along with their own books that are in print version, not digital, will increase their engagement and sense of community. Hopefully, this will instill a love of literature that will last their whole lives.
