World Read Aloud Day 2014: Zoe's Book Talk

I am re-posting this today, World Read Aloud Day, to celebrate not only the power of words in reading them aloud but also for the empowered child when he/she reads aloud.

When my daughter was 10 years old, she had difficulty reading. Her love for learning pushed her to go beyond her difficulties. Here is a recorded video which she took using my iPod back in 2010. She book talked an I Spy book and walked the listener through the end. English is her second language, thus the numerous grammar mistakes in her telling. Proof that she is learning a language foreign to her.

Zoe's Booktalk: I Spy

My ten year old daughter, Zoe, recorded a video of one of her favorite book and talks (and walks) you through it! She did say one time that she wants to be a librarian in the future.



She's an ESL (English as a Second Language) learner. Her errors are music to my ears.
