I have been so grateful to include the grace and wisdom of Thich Nhat Hanh in sessions through his wonderful books. They offer enticing illustrations, tactile tools, and descriptive, visual words for a multi-sensory mindfulness practice. Thinking of him as he left this world yesterday.

Two of my favorites - this one, "A Handful of Quiet" and also "Ten Mindful Movements".

Boba and Book-buying habit strikes again… 🧋 📚

Having read about this one on “The New York Times” list of Best Illustrated Children’s Books…

And knowing how my learners grapple to wrap their visual brains around the concept of time…
🕰 🗓
…I could not resist seeking this out at my local bookstore.

And - yay! - Books Inc had a copy in-store! 👏🏼

And yay again - I had points for a free boba so was brave and even tried a new order (taro burnt cream something…😋).

So now I look forward to sharing this work-of-art-of a-book, “Time is a Flower” by Julie Morstad with my learners.

It is beautiful and lyrical. The page spread that I show is my favorite, and represents the exact conversation I deliberately have with my learners to create a visual construct for time.
This book will create a nice intro into direct instruction on sequencing time and recognizing their own framework for connecting to it.

New book day! “We are Grateful” by Traci Sor

New book day!

“We are Grateful” by Traci Sorell & illustrated by Frane Lessac

For my November educational therapy session themes: Gratefulness and National Native American Heritage month.

Many layers to explore in this rich book for multiple readings.
I love the connection to Cherokee language, beautiful colors, seasonal progression (my learners need that practice), and gratefulness thread. Beautiful colors and I love when the light lettering pops.

Halloween 🎃 Sessions today.

Riddles and witches,
oh my.

Missing suffixes and vowel patterns, oh no.

Hidden goody bags?
Well, that’s just the limit.

The challenge is on.

My learners are up to it - by using rhyme & sound-symbol knowledge, they can solve any reading challenge!

Right now the Bay Area has a Bomb Cyclone and an Atmospheric River. Um. Can't really explain that in meteorological detail - but it's raining...a lot.

Hope all around here can stay safe.
And maybe get to cozy up with a good book - what's your cozy, rainy go-to?
Rainy days make good reading days with our kiddos too - what picture books, chapter books, or graphic novels feel perfect on a day like today?
Having routine reading times that is cozy and comforting helps make books feel more like friends than foes, especially for our struggling readers.

Happy rainy reading time.

💎 Reassuring gems from John Klassen…

How our limits and fears can actually guide us to set bounds and give us our voice/art.
(Uh - yeah - he expressed it better! 😆)

Such a treat and inspiration to listen to author-illustrator Jon Klassen today at the Picture Book Summit.

Love his work and now even more after hearing him share about his experience creating.

Thank you @jonklassen

Happy Monday!

It’s just Kiki & me in the books nook making some plans for student work this week…
🌞 📚 🌞

Finding books that suit struggling readers is a big challenge - so I often make my own mini books for them or pull words and phrases from books that capture their interest and match their intellect so they have access to preferred text. Prep for reading and graphic organizers help set them up for successful experiences with written text.

🔑 🔐 🔑
Engagement is key!
And then facilitating access is on me.
😉 ✅

(And don’t you still love the vowel pattern houses that a student made?)

⚠️ 🟢⚠️
Beware the fonts & layout… Reading access can be eased with font choice and size as well as spacing.

📖 ♥️ 📖
Have a good one literacy people! (And all others too… but perhaps we are all literacy
people?)

🌞Happy Summer Reading all!

This week is Summer Goody Bags time!
☀️🌊
Do I like to spoil my students a little bit?
🤔 Hmm, maybe!!

But I enjoy it…😉
And they work so hard!
🎖 🏆 🥇
So they earn some fun and recognition for sure.

When I can find a way to treat them for their hard work - I do.

Fidgets and props and books that were under $4!
(Thanks to then amazing @books_inc._alameda !)

The foam popping ice cream 🍦 cone seemed the surprise hit.

Included summer reading Bingo pages too -
Hope they will be inspired.
Summer reading and trips to the library are a magic memory from when I was a little person.
🌅
Happy summer reading to all!

I get so excited when I find a simple yet fresh new word!! Who is with me on this?! 🤩🧐🤓Two today with the same vowel pattern!

✔️Gotta gather these unusual and juicy v-c-e words for my learners’ reading lists!

I love being able to say, “Yeah - that’s a real word and I just learned it today while I was reading!”

Even the humble v-c-e pattern words can be rich and sophisticated in meaning!

“Sleuth & Solve”.
🕵️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏾‍♂️🕵🏻‍♀️🕵🏿

For my upper elementary learners. Good rich, text in manageable pieces. Mini mystery or riddle to solve. Impulse control development to try not to peek at the answer before considering possible solutions. This book is on repeat request by my students...

Ticking a lot of the boxes:
✔️ quick read
✔️ rich vocabulary
✔️ complex, varied sentences for phrase reading (Slingerland prep for reading)
✔️executive function controls
✔️ curious minds want to know!
✔️ fun visuals
✔️ relationship bonding with our discussion and collaborative problem-solving
✔️students eager to read it
✔️fun!

Thanks to the amazing children’s book consultant at Copperfields Books in Petaluma, CA who always gives great recommendations.

So many reasons to feel uneasy... let’s adjust well by learning healthy strategies for lifelong coping and teach our kiddos too.
