Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | First Chapter Friday Because of Winn-Dixie Ch 1 Read Aloud @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Friday, January 20, 2023 - In this week’s First Chapter Friday video I (word nerd, Amanda Zieba) read aloud the first chapter of the Newbery Honor Award winning novel Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo. (I also make a big time confession! Ekk!) Be sure to watch the whole video to learn the mystery quote sprinkled throughout the read aloud, one… word… at… a… time.
Book Blurb: One summer’s day, ten-year-old India Opal Buloni goes down to the local supermarket for some groceries—and comes home with a dog. But Winn-Dixie is no ordinary dog. It’s because of Winn-Dixie that Opal begins to make friends. And it’s because of Winn-Dixie that she finally dares to ask her father about her mother, who left when Opal was three. In fact, as Opal admits, just about everything that happens that summer is because of Winn-Dixie. This updated edition of Kate DiCamillo’s classic novel invites readers to make themselves at home—whether they’re experiencing the book for the first time or returning to an old favorite.
