Free decodable passages for short a CVC words

So. These days I've been doing a lot of research into how our brains learn to read. In doing that, I've made a shift in how approach beginning reading. I used to ascribe to the three-cueing-systems model. It's the idea that kids solve unfamiliar words by using three cues: what looks right (phonics), what sounds right (syntax) and what makes sense (semantics). Here's the problem with the three-cueing ... Read More

Books about black history

Today I'm sharing a huge list of our favorite black history books for kids! Do your kids encounter a lot of racial diversity?  We live near a major American city, full of people of all races. But our own little suburb is mostly white. Unless we go shopping, my children don't encounter a lot of faces different from their own during the school week. I can't begin to understand the racial struggles that African ... Read More

Books about Thanksgiving

If you're looking for Thanksgiving books for preschoolers and kindergartners, you'll love our kid-approved list! Sometimes I think our librarians try not to make eye contact when I walk through the door. Either that, or they roll their eyes behind their desks. It's just that I usually look a little silly. And plenty awkward. Because I'm either fiercely whispering that the kids need to be quiet and walk, not run - or ... Read More

Veterans Day books

  I grew up near a large naval base. Many of my friends had dads who served in the navy - dads who were "out to sea" at least half the year. I remember how excited they were when the deployment was nearing its end! I have a huge amount of respect for those who serve in the military and for the families that keep things running while their loved ones are away. (If you're one of them, thank you! And if ...
