Not sure I want my baby to be learning from this type of speech. The volume is also really loud. Too loud for little ears.

Scholastic Teaching Resources (Teaching, 2002 A Must Have! I teach 5th grade and use this all the time. The pages easily work with any genre you are teaching, whether it is biography, fiction, nonfiction, whatever.
