Here is the corrected description for CCBC-Net in April (I did cut-and--paste for the Read Aloud topic and forgot to delete the reference to the discussion being in March):

CCBC-Net Topics for April:*

First Half of Month: Reading Aloud: Titles, Tips and Resources.* Among the most common questions we get at the CCBC are suggestions for books to read aloud. It's been 6-1/2 years since we discussed read-alouds on CCBC-Net, so we'll spend the first half of April exploring this topic. We not only want your individual book suggestions but also insight into how you approach selecting books to read-aloud, what kind of advice you offer adults looking for books to share, and resources you turn to for additional suggestions and information.

*Second Half of Month: Poetry Spoken (and Read!) Here.* How do you share and encourage children and teens to read and share poetry? Do you read it aloud in the classroom or library? Do you look for poems to incorporate into story times, discussion groups, or the curriculum? Do you encourage poetry writing along with poetry reading? During the second half of April (which is National Poetry Month), we invite you to share a few lines about using poetry with children and teens.
