RE: Learn to build in public
I have thought about doing read-aloud, too. There are copyright challenges, but it might work with public domain documents from before 1924 or licensed under creative commons. For kids, Aesop's fables and Hans Christian Andersen spring to mind as obvious examples... (although, I learned about a decade and a half ago that the original versions of Aesop's Fables were surprisingly graphic in nature).
As were the Grimm's tales.
But, there's a whole realm of possibilities there, too with different adaptations of those stories than what you find in common contemporary versions.
One of our favorite podcasts has been "Grimm, Grimmer, Grimmest", fairy tale podcast by Adam Gidwitz. He finds the oldest version of Grimm tales that he can, and reads it to school classes. But he adds his own adaptations, too.
Oh yeah, right! It was Grimm's that I was thinking of. Sorry. They all blur together since I haven't been reading them to anyone recently.
Ha!
Daily part of my life still!
