These teachers deserve this award! Tetrick and Duvall's program is inspiring. I'm particularly drawn to the Listening Lunch style reading by the teacher herself, and I just finished checking out Tumblebooks. It's in my learned nature to cringe when I see children of any age staring without participating at a screen of any kind for a period of time.
I've had to do a double take here, though, with Tumblebooks. What the kids are following on the screen is simply text, and they're simultaneously hearing it read to them. Solves the difficulty of wanting to expose them to written text with the added richness of reading aloud.
I'm looking into it as a possibility for our 7th and 8th graders' lunch period once a month.
