A must listen to podcast episode!

Please take a moment to listen and leave a supporting message for these young Kings sharing their perspectives and book reviews! The link to the podcast is in the bio.

Our favorite line, "Can I elaborate?" Yes!

Three Black Boys; Three Black Books
Three elementary school students (two fifth and one fourth) and their librarian discuss non fiction picture books. The books discussed are the following: The Roots of Rap written Carole Boston Weatherford by and illustrated by Frank Morrison, When the Beat was Born written by Laban Carrick Hill and illustrated by Frank Morrison and Thurgood Marshall written by Jonah Winter and illustrated by Brian Collier.

More of this please!

Amazing job young men. Thank you to School Librarian @mlynnbooks for creating and sharing this awesome podcast.

Science of Reading Podcast

1/6/2022

As a parent, public, school librarian or teacher, do you wonder or understand this movement in literacy around the 'Science of Reading'?

It is alot to know and as usual, so much jargon in figuring out how to help our kids and students understand how to become people that not only can read what is in front of them, but also understand it.

This podcast by Amplify Education is one of many to consider in getting better acquainted with the big concepts and technical aspects of the Science of Reading or SOR, as it's called in reading, instruction, and research circles.

Do you listen to or read certain sites about SOR? Please share them in the comments.
