@isaacjwells @MimiToddPress @pancakelibrary I have been publicizing author and celebrity read alouds. When we get back I plan on pushing in on a few Zoom meetings to do book talks. Also will push out a survey to get a sense of what the kids want to hear for future read alouds. #corechat

@DinaGenco @MimiToddPress Love it! I beat @pancakelibrary is doing some similar things in Morocco. How are you two helping kids define their interests and make selections during distance or virtual learning? #CoreChat

Q4: What strategies do you have for supporting students' book selection? Please share tools and examples! #CoreChat

@isaacjwells @danamariewells Till next time!!! Stay healthy, Mr. & Mrs. Wells!

@danamariewells Our favorite! Hope you're comfortable in the den;-) Say hello to @Dinagenco! #CoreChat

Late to the party! I’m a 3rd grade teacher in NC. There’s a Boy in the Girls Bathroom is my favorite book to read with kids! #CoreChat

@MimiToddPress Is the book something relevant to you or something of which you care a great deal? Also can you read it comfortably? If you are struggling to read something, the joy won’t be there and you have got to enjoy what you’re reading! #CoreChat

Q3: What criteria are most important for your students (and teachers) to consider during book selection? #CoreChat

@danamariewells Hey Dana!!! So great to “see” you!!! #CoreChat

@isaacjwells @JustTeachingELA All things Beverly Cleary and The Pigman by Paul Zindel.#CoreChat

@DinaGenco @MimiToddPress Hey Dina! Miss you! Glad we get to connect like this:-) #CoreChat

@MimiToddPress My grandmother read to me and when I was having fluency challenges, my grandfather read to me and had me read to him. Love was so much a part of my early reading experiences. #corechat

Q1: What are your earliest memories of reading books at home and in school? How were those books selected? #CoreChat

According to a 2012 study, print and basic ebooks are better for "literacy-building experiences" than feature-rich, multimedia ebooks. comsen.se/2LqrNFL #kindle #reading #digitalparenting

@Accelerated_Rob @FollettLearning Love unpacking a collection! Happy to say I have done it many times!

What a difference a day makes. From empty shelves and pallets of boxes to a beautiful library. Thanks Lancaster Schools for choosing @FollettLearning.

@overheardlibrar Ah, YEAH!!! Ew....

I come into work and there's a book on my desk with a note in it. I open it up to see that Coworker has left the note; it says "This was found in the bathroom last night, it was all wet. What should we do with it?" NOT LEAVE IT ON MY DESK FOR ME TO TOUCH WITH MY BARE HANDS!
