The additional goal then is to make the students find their own joy in reading to increase their motivation. (2001) argued that there should be intentional and ongoing active invitations to the students to respond and interact with the oral reading of story through interactive read-aloud. Johnston (2016) defined read-aloud as an instructional practice in which teachers or parents read text aloud to children incorporating pitch, tone, pace, volume changes, questions, and comments to produce fluent and engaging delivery. Reading aloud is both promoted in the family and at school for both first language and second language learners. The habit of reading as part of American culture begins at the family level. Trealease (2013) noted that nine-year-old American children interest in reading at that level is among the best in the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() Paxton’s brother Colin has returned from his world travels to landscape the grounds, but when a gnarled peach tree is uprooted to make way for a statelier transplant tree, a skull is found in the crater. The house, deemed haunted, was abandoned for decades until salvaged by the Osgoods, who plan on converting it to a bed and breakfast. The invitations go awry due to a freak storm, which is a harbinger that dark forces still lurk at the gala site, the Blue Ridge Madam manor, once owned by lumber barons, the Jacksons, who lost their money when their logging grounds were turned into a national forest. Paxton Osgood, pampered daughter of one of Walls of Water, N.C.’s, wealthiest families, is planning a gala to mark the 75th anniversary of the Women’s Society Club, founded by her grandmother Agatha. In a North Carolina mountain hamlet, the renovation of a crumbling mansion reveals unsettling secrets. ![]() |
