Read-aloud Handbook An Essential Reference Book
READ to Children ~READ to Children ~READ to Children. "Please read to me" said the child.
For anyone, especially parents and educators that SHOULD be interested in children, children's literature, and reading. This is a great book, Jim Trelease's The Read-Aloud Handbook, 6th ed. The first ed. was published in 1979. There is a section which has a nice book list. Treasury of Read-Alouds. 9 Categories. Contents: Wordless Books, Predictable Books, Reference Books, Picture Books, Short Novels, Full-Length Novels, Poetry, Anthologies, Fairy and Fold Tales.
Go to your local or school library and CHECK IT OUT! I have my own copy. Are you trying to get parents motivated to read to their children, lend this book out to them. It will help you get support from home without a doubt. Visit his watch dogs/ censorship page. Also, oddly enough, I found this book in the parenting section at Books A Million. NOT Edu.

Join the FEA - Future Educators Association
Recently, MTC had its first FEA meeting with only two (2) students attending. Very disappointing. In order for MTC to start its own chapter, we need a minimum requirement of ten (10) students. This is no cost to you except your time; to show up for meetings. Value of $42.00, an Undergraduate Membership. Through the Pathways Project Grant, Mr. Derrick is able to start our own chapter. I encourage you all to join and participate. This will be helpful for your transition into USC Chapter and your professional portfolio. Please visit the web site for more information. http://www.pdkintl.org/fea/feahome.htm
