This read-aloud is Edward and the Pirates written and illustrated by David McPhail. Edward is an endearing, studious-looking little boy who reads everything he can get his hands on---Cereal boxes at the breakfast table...seed catalogs that arrived on... the coldest day of winter, the inscription on the monument in the town square, and books---all kinds of books." Edward becomes so involved that whatever he reads seems to be real. One day at the local library he finds a volume entitled Lost Pirate Treasure and takes it home; that night pirates invade his bedroom, demanding that he hand over the book. In the ruckus that ensues, the child bravely refuses (it's checked out on HIS card, after all), but generously ends up reading it aloud to the pirates, who never learned how themselves. There is a play button to start story and a pause button on each page. Each word is highlighted as the speaker reads. The speaker changes voices with characters. This is a wonderful resource to help build a literacy rich environment in the classroom. It would benefit struggling readers and/or special education students. Students will enjoy this fun online read-aloud.
