I would LOVE to set up a virtual Q&A session with you if that's possible!!
Reading aloud @victoriajcoe.bsky.social Fenway and Hattie with my 3rd graders. I'd forgotten how much fun this series is! #readaloud #kidlit
Got kids who hate writing?
My new YouTube series Write It in 5! can change that!
Each session gives kids 1 fun or wacky topic & 5 minutes to write about it. No rules. No overthinking. Just prove to themselves that they can write.
Please check it out & share!

Super excited for this one!

Teacher & librarian friends! I'm working on this year's list of author volunteers who'll be offering Zoom read-alouds for World Read Aloud Day on 2/5/25! It should be ready in a couple of weeks - be sure to follow if you'd like access to the list & please share this post to let your colleagues know!
Phenomenal list!

Woah!
Looking for any info on pedagogy behind using activities such as bookmark coloring, puzzles, etc in the #schoollibrary #advocacy
Yes! If you've not yet read the Mr. Mercedes trilogy, I'd definitely start there to see how far Holly has come!
While I started it the last week of 2023, I finished it today. Excellent! π
I'd love to share one with a fellow educator!
That's awesome!
Teachers & librarians! It's not too late to invite an author to Zoom with your readers for World Read Aloud Day in February! You'll find all the details & the list of author & illustrator volunteers here: katemessner.com/zoom-with-an...
