[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Calling bullsh@! on you being a teacher OP. If you were, you’d know that children are not the most reliable narrators. You’d also know how to go about getting a better sense from the teacher themselves. 
[b]All that said, I see teachers relying on videos for read alouds more frequently now than a few years ago. I think part of it is due to resources they developed during virtual instruction and hard copies of books not being available (in classroom/school library) so it’s easier to find a video then look for an alternative title that fits their need. 
Again, if you were a classroom teacher I think you’d understand this. [/b]

This seems like a ridiculous reason/excuse to not read to the kids. [/quote]

Yeah this explanation hardly makes me feel better about what OP posted. Just makes it seem more accurate.[/quote]

I’m the teacher who posted this. I am in no way defending the use of a video read aloud vs an actual read aloud by the teacher in the classroom. I am reporting what I have seen in my building. It’s not most teachers nor is it most of the time. I do see it more frequently than I did prior to March 2020 though.
