Author 70: Librarian Vicki Myron with Dewey, the library cat

Vicki Myron tells of Dewey's contribution to decorating the library Christmas tree in this colorful tale. Read more about Dewey at: http://www.deweyreadmorebooks.com

Our local libraries offer dog day afternoons where kids can read to therapy dogs to help develop numerous skills that come from reading books aloud. Sam Duncan from the University of London points out reading aloud helps adults who may need help in decoding words and developing literacy. http://www.nrdc.org.uk/content.asp?CategoryID=1514

So find a family member, friend or pet and read aloud to someone.
