Sharing Our Reading Lives - Mrs. Selby

On Tuesday, we were so fortunate to have Mrs. Selby (Alex's mom) come and share her reading life with our class. Mrs. Selby taught us about audio books! She told us how she uses the internet to download books to her iPod, and then listens to them at her convenience. She also showed us how you can check out CDs from the public library and listen to books at home or while you're traveling in the car. Many of our students had never done this - this Thanksgiving would be a perfect time to listen to a book while you're traveling to visit relatives. Mrs. Selby shared with us some really cool books that use interesting graphics. The kids were enthralled with the "Gallop!" book (I saw it at Barnes and Noble this weekend - it's fascinating). Thanks for sharing, Mrs. Selby!
