Query: Raising Voices... A Must Have!

Since my current teaching position is filled with standard based requirements, it was a breath of fresh air to read Judy Sima and Kevin Cordi's book, Raising Voices, and witness that literacy learning can be taught in an enjoyable way. This handbook could easily be used as a curriculum guide in the language arts classroom by assisting with communication skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Not only that, when reading Raising Voices, I began to visualize students using these techniques when escaping their every day lives. Most importantly, one often feels great anxiety when speaking in front of a group, fortunately Sima and Cordi see storytelling as worthwhile and inviting rather than to be feared and they present infinite amounts of ideas on how to relax and have fun.
