how do you sound?

[yossi]

I love your accent and voice, yossi!

I wasn't planning on a southern accent, but as I did a preliminary read-through, it just popped out. Thank you, lovely.

Agreed!!!! Nice job Yossi

Thanks.

In honor of Halloween I read a story from More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark retold by Alvin Schwartz. Many a sleepover involved trying to scare each other to death by reading these under the cover of darkness.

Fata, this no longer appears to be working.

Oh I dunno then. It was a recording on my phone I sent Pete to put up for me. I'll do another.

I'm bored, so I've decided to read some Carroll.

Love hearing your voice!

 

[yossi]

Love hearing your voice!

Contrariwise!

Carroll is always fun for reading aloud.

 

[Conager]

Storytime with tbe librarian. Splendid!

I find Carroll trips me up. I started once reading to the small one, but didn't get through it.

The last thing I read aloud was The Mouse and the Motorcycle.

I love his satiric wit woven throughout the nonsense. His absurdity hooks me entirely.

Beverly Cleary makes for good reading aloud material. I think my favorite is Dr. Seuss; specifically the Sneetches. We can learn a lot from them.

My inner child wants to sit cross-legged at your feet, elbows on my knees, chin resting upon the heels of my hands, and listen intently as your voice carries me away to the places and people inhabiting the books that you read.

The small one loves Seuss. The Seuss is all packed away.

In lieu of "replacing" the stray cat that wasn't mine when I moved, I got her concurrence that fish would be acceptable. I got not just one fish, but two, one happened to be red, the other blue. I'm sure you can see where this is going. . .

She has asked for the book, which was one of the ones she learned to read from. Now I have to come up with a copy.

I'm a passable mimic, all the older siblings liked when I voiced characters. Sometimes character appropriate, sometimes just randomly. Narration, I usually affect some accent. She always used to interupt, "STOP doing voices. Use you REAL voice."

Now she likes it. Usually.

"I can read with one eye shut," I would continue to rotate on subsequent pages after the curvy-text one.

With the last one, I knew from the time she was quite small that she either had an eidetic memory or could actually read because I could stop anywhere and she could finish the sentence. She became resistant to voicing the stories herself. I tricked her into participating by veering off script; she would correct me.

For use as a reader, I think PD Eastman is better. Lots of repetition, no little couplets that are easy to remember with the part of your brain that does song and rhyme. Go Dog, Go! was the book my sister taught me to read with. I used it with all tbe kids.

I'm more than likely already sitting on the floor, just grab a cushion and join me. Be forewarned, I do fudge the words a bit now and again.
