Tuck Everlasting is a favorite of mine, but I've only read it as an adult. I had forgotten what an amazing piece of literature it is. After reading your post, I think I may have to use it as a read aloud (again...after MANY years). Love the visible tug-of-war as well as the other strategies you've mentioned. Thanks or a great post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099170681330625439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-93148517381887696.post-56428694724440617122016-12-15T18:33:41.512-05:002016-12-15T18:33:41.512-05:00What a beautiful blog!
