    Trelease’s quote applies to so much of our children’s lives and our own lives as well. For example, the more children practice their musical instrument, the more they like it because they enjoy being able to do it well! The list of examples goes on and on. Thanks for sharing at the #LMMLinkup.

    So much wisdom in The Read Aloud Handbook! I refer to it all the time. And I love the idea of writing being the painting of the voice.
