I made a new batch of activity sheets for kids. Find/print them here:

If kids are enjoying these and they’re helpful to adults, I will keep cranking these out as I can. I’m also exploring other options to make more content available for free to kids.

When I learned this strategy last year, it was a game changer for how I plan all of my reading and writing mini-lessons! Very happy to share it with teachers 😊⬜️✍🏻@Discovery_elem @PathwaysLCPS #TCRWP #unitsofstudy #planning

Thank you @nellkduke! This concise synthesis clears up a lot of confusion about how to teach phonics in a manner that works for children.

After hearing Laurie Halse Anderson speak at Nerd Camp, I couldn’t wait to read Shout. I read it in one sitting today and I already want to read it again tomorrow. #bookaday

We are big fans of Scaredy Squirrel at our house so at our last trip to the library we decided to check out a bunch of the other books by Mélanie Watt. I love mini-author studies and the little guy loves the Chester books! #bookaday

[Jarrett Lerner @Jarrett_Lerner]

Thanks to the encouragement of several of you, I set up a @customink fundraiser using my Kids Need Books of All Kinds art. All proceeds will go to @FirstBook!

Buy a T-shirt, and help gets books into the hands of kids who need them most: https://t.co/CL572qtfjl
