📚 MORE READ ALOUDS WITH MR. GROSSI 📚

👨‍🏫 ABOUT MR. GROSSI 👨‍🏫
I've taught in PreK-2nd grade classrooms in South Korea, China and New Jersey before moving to Los Angeles in 2016 to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. Shortly after arriving, I began substitute teaching in Burbank where I would bring my worn and trusty copy of Despereaux with me from class to class, reading a chapter or two each time I taught. The kids always loved it, and I quickly became known as the sub who read that mouse book with the funny voices. A librarian once told me said she always knew when I had been at her school because the next day she'd get flooded with requests for the book, which made me smile.

When Covid-19 shut down the district, I decided to start recording chapters for the classes I had been with who hadn't yet finished the book, and any other teacher or parent who needs resources for distance learning. Since uploading the first video, it's been shared widely and it's been amazing to get messages from students and families all over the world enjoying my crazy voices and asking for more books.

I try to keep my videos' production value as simple as possible on purpose - the less music and distractions they have, the more readers are able to focus on the story and let their imagination run free. If you have a suggestion for a new book for me to read, please leave it in the comments and I'll add it to the list!

I like the way you read, it sounds like a goofy teacher making the kids get interested in the book by doing the funny voices, I haven’t been in a classroom with a goofy teacher in a while so it made me smile when you did the French mouses voice.

How can I find more of your stories? I am a second grade teacher who reads aloud to my class daily. (MOST IMPORTANT MINUTES SPENT). I am in awe of your scaffolding technique for students . You have a gift! Where can I find more besides the Witches? I would love to know what age you think this book is best read to? And are you a teacher? Librarian?
