Happy Banned Books Week!
I decided to celebrate by rereading one of my favorites by @stephenking.bsky.social in its original format.

Even though I had read The Long Walk by @stephenking.bsky.social more than once, I was not prepared for the movie’s ending. And also, “Wanna go for a walk?” is still my favorite line.

That feeling when you spend 25+ years building a beautiful, relevant classroom library, and then get told that the only books allowed in your class must be from the approved list.

If we want our kids to engage in daily choice independent reading, then we need to provide them with books they actually want to read.

I can’t recommend this book enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just finished The First State of Being by Erin Entrada Kelly; Now reading The Dollar Kids by Jennifer Richard Jacobson

Reading and discussing entire books is more beneficial than reading out-of-context snippets and answering multiple-choice questions.

Prove me wrong.
