#TeacherFriends A1: I have not personally used digital resources for children's books, but I have been looking at using EPIC. Hoping to get more devices for the classroom (currently only have 1 iPad for student use), so def. something I'm looking into!
#TeacherFriends Q1 Share your favorite digital resources for children’s books. How do you use them in your classroom? Include resources for multicultural books.
Hello everyone my name is Alex Kubacki I am a pre-professional teacher currently attending Albright College in Reading, PA. I am really excited to learn from all of you! #TeacherFriends

A1: I do not have my own classroom yet, but I am in a clinical in a 3rd grade class. I know we use the app EPIC which is super cool. I wish we had it when I was in school. #teacherfriends

I like to use Junkyard Wonders in the spring when I open up Maker Sessions more. I must handle it carefully as I teach full inclusion and do not want to appear to be handing out a backhanded compliment. #teacherfriends
A1: We use Epic and Raz! Love both! Purchased Raz through @DonorsChoose for the information I get on student comprehension! We have a goal for both digital and paper books on the back of our door! #teacherfriends
We love reading a book together on @SkypeClassroom and then come back together to do a reader's theater of the book. I use google slides to share the book. #teacherfriends
We have great lurkers every week at #TeacherFriends. VERY kind of you to introduce yourself. Add your insight as you are able.
Enter to win the prizes!
#TeacherFriends A2: We use Scholastic News magazines for non-fiction (current events) and I always intro the mag of the week with the videos on the website - there are also sometimes games and other activities. This get the kids itching to get their hands on the news magazine!
#TeacherFriends
A2: This is my favorite Spring book! It is written in 1st person with the fawn telling its own story. Students love it, and it is so lovingly told. Written by Jean Marzollo. https://t.co/XRHP0cKYnO
We use various youtube videos of baby forest animals.
#TeacherFriends Here's a great 'brain break' video of mine for print directionality. Professional film crew!
My grandchildren involved, so you're required to LUV it!

#TeacherFriends We have Shivers! themed graphic organizers for creating comedic (unlikely) characters and teaching guides on our website https://t.co/4pnepZyMxr
The last time I taught LA, we 'wrote' a book. Each S created their own character and wrote an intro. We then created a story line that integrated them all. Printed it, mistakes and all! The goal was to write a new one every yr. I switched to math. #teacherfriends
A2 James Ransome teaches different art techniques found in children's literature on YOUNG AT ART. In this episode, he shares a watercolor technique called "glazing" from his picture book NEW RED BIKE
#TeacherFriendshttps://t.co/OF2LKRfHCX
A2: My teacher friend Niki Jean taught me the display trick. I display a new book and read it. They sign up to read after me. Gets them every time! #teacherfriends
A2 Listen to children's book podcasts for kids and get the story behind the stories. This is yet another way to share a passion for reading!
#TeacherFriendshttps://t.co/W5SPVeTcEq
A2: Allowing choice. Using @EpicKidsBooks I create collections of topics we are studying and make sure they are on student's level so they are not frustrated. #TeacherFriends
#TeacherFriends I host The Best in Rhyme book award each February and its announced for on the KidLitTV Studio. Here’s this year’s live announcement! https://t.co/hHTsk7qwnx
A2 Here's snippet of Christopher Browne teaching kids how to draw MARLO on READY SET DRAW :-) Drawing kid lit characters is a good way to create a path that leads towards books and reading! @loyaldogmarlo@HarperCollins#TeacherFriends
#teacherfriends A2: we search book titles through YouTube and you would be surprised how many books are out there being read by the author or adventurous teachers Bless Y'all.
A2: I think finding books that relate to the students personal life is a way to get them hooked. Especially 3rd through 6th grade. I always loved to read book that I had a deep connection to. #teacherfriends

A2 Something new & exciting coming up on KidLit TV: We're launching KidLit MTV a web series featuring music inspired by children's books. Our first guest is @Shawn_Colvin who performs from her new album #TheStarlighter Songs inspired by LULLABIES AND NIGHT SONGS
#TeacherFriends
A2: I’m a huge fan of the online resources that Scholastic News provides. Kids will start searching our classroom or school library for related books to find even more information to share with the class. #TeacherFriends

A1: My middle school students are in LOVE with E-Books right now. In my district we have access as teachers and as students to download digital copies of books across district libraries! It's AWESOME! #teacherfriends
A2 Seesaw is also a great tool for getting Ss excited about reading. Ss use it to recommend books to each other... They can create a #booksnap, record themselves reading a page, or simply share the title! #TeacherFriends

A2: I know it is spring when my students begin to make comments like, "OH, that's why we are learning this. I get it!" Their understanding is growing. A springtime ritual for me personally would be providing leadership roles for my students. #teacherfriends
#TeacherFriends Here is a video of the song and sign language to my picture book, "Tall Giraffe."
My niece took the photos on location in Africa and they are set in borders of African batik fabrics. Perfect for a non-fiction study.

Andrea from Omaha Public Schools! I’m a special education teacher and this is my 5th year in the classroom. I am passionate about advocacy, equity, and inclusion! Let’s chat! #TeacherFriends
A3: Once again, @EpicKidsBooks is outstanding for nonfiction. Many nonfiction resources, easy to create collections. It also has videos and some books have audio to read to students. @News_O_Matic is awesome for current events. #TeacherFriends

I totally agree about EPIC. I am in the middle of a Women in History unit and I was able to make a collection of books for Ss to explore. #teacherfriends

A3: Currently my middle school students use an online program called, "Achieve 3000." Every article is nonfiction with comprehension/written questions. Every student could be reading the same article, but all at different reading levels.👍 #teacherfriends
We love using Scholastic for non fiction. So many resources with the magazines, videos and online games. Their informational videos are short and sweet & engaging. Perfect combo! #TeacherFriends
#TeacherFriends Hi All! You may want to check out the materials we've created at @Room_228 / https://t.co/3dhscw1HVY We have a range of materials that we've created for using specific books in the classroom and library.
#TeacherFriends All teachers, librarians and parents interested in rhyming picture books are welcome to join the Rhyme Revolution Facebook Group. We celebrate outstanding rhyme in children’s literature!

#TeacherFriends Q4 Share the best free video resources for kid lit. How would you use them in class? What suggestions do you have for a new teacher in using these resources?
Andrea from Omaha Public Schools! I’m a special education teacher and this is my 5th year in the classroom. I am passionate about advocacy, equity, and inclusion! Let’s chat! #TeacherFriends
A4 Of course I highly recommend adding KidLit TV to your list of free resources for kid lit. :-)
Here's a sample of some of our programing:

#TeacherFriends Our first KidLit TV Crafts with Ms. Angie segment will teach a simple craft that accompanies HOOT AND HONK by author Leslie Helakoski @helakoski
Q4: @misswalzops It sounds like the videos you are speaking of a part of Scholastic News are great video resources for children literature. Thanks for sharing! #teacherfriends
A4: I use @KidLitTV_NYC in @CanvasLMS. Ss watch a video and discuss. I love being able to expand by using ready set draw and story makers too. #TeacherFriends
The first-person narrator of my new #picturebook WHAT HAPPENS NEXT is being bullied at school. Find a book trailer and 2 discussion guides for K-3 and gr 4-6 here: https://t.co/RHHF8oBzcl#teacherfriends
#TeacherFriends A5: We do 15 minute read-aloud every day just before recess. Traditional - not digital. Sometimes the kids ask me to NOT stop reading if I am at a really good part. My class has nicknamed me "Cliffhanger Queen." LOL!
#TeacherFriends Q5 How do you incorporate digital (multimedia) resources into traditional story times? How do you incorporate story time or read alouds into your class schedule?
#TeacherFriends A5: The easiest partnering of a book with digital media is with non-fiction topics.We read about how a butterfly grows, then view it online. How to Make Bread: We watch commercial bread production vs making it at home. Many choices to support books.
Wonderful idea! When she was 16 my daughter made my book trailer for my #nf kids book OFF TO CLASS with the help of neighborhood kids and it turned out quite well! https://t.co/93CciCCTFO@owlkids#TeacherFriends
Julie and I are not exactly educators, but we are deeply involved in children's literature, and really care about kids being engaged and stimulated to learn in a variety of ways, some of which may not be strictly traditional... ;-)) #teacherfriends
A5 We partnered with Storynory on a podcast series of classic children's tales. Listen to a podcast during story time, then ask students to draw a character from the story using these tutorials from artist Lori Hanson @storynory#TeacherFriends
The school system has a subscription. It’s a wonderful resource. A plethora of genres and topics to choose from. Students can access at home, as well. #TeacherFriends
A3: Currently my middle school students use an online program called, "Achieve 3000." Every article is nonfiction with comprehension/written questions. Every student could be reading the same article, but all at different reading levels.👍 #teacherfriends
#TeacherFriends A4: I think it is very important to teach Ss to "listen" to great text, so I like to let them listen to books such as the Magic Treehouse series digital audio. They can imagine their own version of the stories!
A5: I will never give up traditional read aloud. But I love collaboration using digital tools with other classrooms around the globe as we read the same book. Such as #GRA and recently #WishtreeRA and read My Father's Dragon with a group. #1stchat
#TeacherFriends Any teachers who write rhyming picture books? The 2018 Rhyme Revolution Conference is October 24-28th in New Harmony, IN. Registration is open!! https://t.co/fpIvKwORi6.
Definitely nothing quite like a traditional read-aloud. Get to display passion for reading, and enjoyment of a good book. I love to do Dr. Seuss reads-aloud. His way with words is such fun and makes for an entertaining read. #TeacherFriends
#TeacherFriends Next week 4/3 we will have the chance to chat with our own @kindergatorss, Cindy Price as she shares some of her thoughts on "Teaching Outside the Box."

#TeacherFriends Time for Show and Tell. Please share your blogs, social networks, products, stores, shops and upcoming engagements. Shine your light! Don't be shy!
#teacherfriends A4: Bookshare gives access to literature for those with special needs including low vision and dyslexia. Takes a bit to set up but if you are supporting SpEd or Resource or special learner check it out.
#TeacherFriends We distribute #AlternativeSeating at https://t.co/wuux2FLXBO where we accept your POs. We also give quantity discounts & can ship for free in orders of 2 dozen wobbles. Call my hubby for details.
The Grow-w-Me chair is on sale right now!
Do any of my #TeacherFriends use SRA as a reading intervention tool? I have SOME of the books but am looking for opinions on how you implement it in your classroom with only two students needing it.
#TeacherFriends I just wanted to be certain that you saw this suggestion. Chat was fast tonight. I know you'll want to read back through the archive, too.
