By Noelle Albers
At our school we read books every day.
While we read we explore, laugh, and play.
Pages turn.
So much to learn.
I wonder what we’ll read today!
Some books are short and some are long.
Some include a rhyming song.
We read in the sun.
Soon we are done.
We’re ready for the next read-along!
This month students at Highlands Latin School of Owensboro share their favorite read-alouds from school this year.
