End Of Year Read Alouds!

We recently asked our  Facebook teacher friends to share their favorite read-alouds for the end of the year.  We got a terrific response with tons of great ideas for read-alouds so I wanted to share those with you.  It’s great how we all think alike in ways and the same books made lots of appearances and then we all have our personal likes.  I got some terrific new ideas for books.

So here are all of the end-of-the-year read-aloud suggestions from my friends on Facebook!  I hope you find some great new books for your class!  And please leave comments with other books that aren’t included!!!  The more the merrier!  You can click on any of the books to get them at Amazon!!!!!
