You Read to Me, I'll Read to You

You Read to Me, I'll Read to You by Mary Ann Hoberman

I have never seen a book quite like this one that does a great job not only at being able to interest kids in poetry but also expressing voice and conversation in a written piece, something that many teachers struggle to teach and show. Each poem or story most often is told with two people. With different colored texts for each person, one reads the purple text and the other the magenta text. If there happens to be blue text, it makes it even more fun because the students are able to read it together and then continue on with their "conversation". If this book has you or your students interested their are many more like it in different versions from the same author.
