[CASL-L] First Chapter Fridays--favorites?

[LaPlante, Casey]

Cathy--

I've really found that what kids value most is the LIVE person reading to
them. They watch way too many videos themselves and putting on a video of
an author doesn't grab them at all. They want a connection to a person, a
person that they trust, putting on essentially a "performance" for them and
responding to them as well. I know it's easier to reach lots of people with
a video, but to kids these days, it's just another screen to stare at.
