Dang, this one was so fun.

I might have to add @sarah_m_eden to my list of authors to read everything by this year (although she has something like 70 books so . . . that’d be a lot).

Have you read any of her books? Which one should I pick up next?

BOMB is one of my all-time favorite books and sharing it with my kids a year or so ago was a delight!

What other non-fiction books have felt like fiction to you?

I read HEARTWOOD HOTEL aloud to my second daughter

I read HEARTWOOD HOTEL aloud to my second daughter when she was in kindergarten and it was the most delightful, sweet chapter book.

I’d love to hear what other books you’d recommend along those lines - share them in the comments and help out other families and teachers looking for suggestions! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

For some kids, reading just doesn’t come easily

For some kids, reading just doesn’t come easily and it can quickly turn into a power struggle where everything around books and reading starts to feel deeply negative.

Few people learn to love reading because they’re forced or bribed into it - most people love reading because of hundreds or thousands of positive experiences with it and if you have a child who hates reading, I’d highly recommend you focus on creating as many positive experiences as possible with reading.

Listen to an audiobook together in the car on the way to school, let them stay up later to read, watch a movie version of a book and then read the book, try a different format (like graphic novels) or genre (like non-fiction or fantasy). Read aloud to them and let them color or play with LEGOs while you do. Visit the library. Let them pick out a book at the bookstore. Allow them to quit books that aren’t working for them. Have special snacks during reading time. Try interactive books like I Spy books. Don’t make them feel bad about their reading tastes.

I’d love to hear how you create positive reading experiences in your home or classroom! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

It’s hard to beat the excitement of a new book coming out from an author you already love!

Here are four spring/summer releases that I’m excited about - any of these calling your name?

There is nothing quite as magical as when your child starts picking up books and reading independently 🥹

This set of KITTY SWEET TOOTH books was a huge hit with my 6 year old (and then we had to make the rock candy in the back of the book!).

Have you seen these books?

Did you know this hack?

This is a new-to-me Kindle hack and I’m SO glad to know about it! I’ve been asked about it for the last several years and assumed until a few months ago that it wasn’t possible!

Do you use Amazon Kids+?

I am a giant wimp but there is something so fun about a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat!

I’m on the lookout for some new thrillers - any recommendations?
