As you decide what books to read to start the school year, remember that there are many ways to build community. Interactive nonfiction books allow all students to chime in and feel welcome. @stenhousepub.bsky.social @heinemannpub.bsky.social @ncte.org #kidlit #backtoschool

Yet another reason to love your local library- you can get professional development books!

Wonderful picture book authors, how many words is a typical fiction picture book? Any and all advice is welcome for this reading teacher working on her first picture book. Thank you!

I am excited about my second trip to Slovakia to collaborate with teachers. I will be talking about reading identity, learning about their new curriculum, and visiting schools. If you are a teacher there, please get in touch! #readingidentity

Instead of listing favorite books of the year, we have been thinking about Ray Bradbury suggested: What book would you want to memorize and protect from censors, and why?

Teacher Friday tired is a particular kind of tired. But Fridays can also be a good time to ask students how they grew as readers, or how they felt about reading this week. Instead of thinking about numbers of minutes or books, how joyful was reading this week? #EduSky #ReadingMatters

Having books at home matters. Watching children pick their own books from the Bookmobile to take home is pure joy.

Thank you to the book booths for giving away so many picture books. I’ll be reading these and then giving them to classrooms.
