Iâm Kate and my favorite holiday joy is Christmas music. I only listen to it from December 1st til Christmas Day...a close close close second would be being with family and loved ones #BookCampPD
Q1. Think about the children's books PLN members shared during the chat on 12/16 Link to chat - https://t.co/4LPrzbpRUW How can those books, or perhaps a different title, support a child's own literacy process? #BookCampPD
A1 In MamaBearsMagic, Mama Bear embraces Tiny Bearâs process so that he discovers on his own that bathing is âbearyâ fun! #BookCampPD#childrensbooks#kidslit
A1: If a child loves a particular childrenâs book they will read it multiple times, mastering the story so they can retell it, they may read it out loud and they may have it read out loud to them. Great literacy skills develop from there. #BookCampPD#booklove#literacy#engchat
A1 When students other students their age facing trials, overcoming obstacles, and being real, they connect and support their journey along the way. #BookCampPD
A1: Reading aloud and retelling the story (like Dr. Seuss or Where The Wild Things Are) will help develop valuable literacy and communication skills that will transfer to other reading and their own writing. #BookCampPD#booklove#literacy#engchat

A1: Falling âin loveâ with a book (Seuss, Munsch, Dahl, E.B. White, Gaiman, etc.) will help develop reading allegiances to authors and genres, which leads to children becoming lifelong readers capable of choosing their own stories to read. #BookCampPD#booklove#literacy#engchat
A1: I was not there so donât know the books but a favorited mine is Leo the Late Bloomer, I read it to 1st grade where they start seeing some are more advanced than others and we discuss that every one blooms when theyâre ready...thru adulthood as well #BookCampPD
Q2. Considering the critical topics in education today, what children's books can you recommend to educators, parent, etc., that address literacy skills related to social emotional learning, reading comprehension, vocabulary development, etc. #BookCampPD
When you take the #BookCampPD survey, be sure to vote for Timeless Learning by @irasocol, @pammoran, and Chad Ratliff. The authors address PBLs, student-designed learning, connective & interactive digital learning, & ways to open up learning space & time. Learn a bit & enjoy too!
Probably not that many. I think just reading with your children and setting aside time to read even in parallel with children when they get older is important, showing them that reading is valued, helping to foster lifelong reading and literacy. #BookCampPD
Q2: one I enjoy for SEL is Red A Crayonâs Story by M. Hall. Iâve used it to discuss acceptance, differences/similarities, strengths, unexpected things we can be good at. Great convos from this book! #bookcamppd
Yes, that's a great point. So often as an English teacher we looked at a text once when students would benefit from looking at it multiple times and comparing, contrasting, and connecting that text to other stories and other mediums. #BookCampPD
Q3. How can the benefits of children's books extend throughout one's educational career, i.e. preschool, elementary, middle and high school, college? #BookCampPD
A2: I feel this list is practically endless these days. Current authors have become masters at incorporating SEL, literacy skills, visual clues, and more that itâs probably easier to find the one book that doesnât fit the bill. #BookCampPD
A2: Geronimo Stilton books can help to develop literacy skills because they combine images with text, replace text with images, and there are puzzles involving literacy. #BookCampPD#booklove#literacy#engchat
A2: Graphic novels (aka comics, like Maus) can be effective at developing literacy skills because text primarily relates to dialogue and narration, and they can be complex in connecting text to images. #BookCampPD#booklove#literacy#engchat
A3: Students need to develop reading speed and vocabulary over time, so skills that begin to develop in elementary school can be applied to secondary and post-secondary school, as well as careers. #BookCampPD#booklove#literacy#engchat
A2b: some faves...Iâm not just a scribble, Leo the late bloomer, Giraffees canât dance, Maybe something beautiful, My heart fillswithh happiness #BookCampPD
A3: Through reading one also improves the ability to write as the books act as exemplars modelling writing skills relating directly to narrative and beyond. It is important to help students experience both fiction and nonfiction in books. #BookCampPD#booklove#literacy#engchat
A3 Childrenâs books arenât just for kids. They can be used across many age levels. The graphics, the story lines, and the connections support all learners and tell a story. #BookCampPD
A3: they contain valuable lessons, problem solving, and are jump starters to great discussions and topics for further writing. Theyâre also relatable at any age! Our older Ss often refer back to âbucket fillingâ from yrs ago. #bookcamppd

A3. I was not a reader as a child, I was an outside doer. Reading is something I still struggle to want to do. I work to change that with my children and students. Reading and living the text, expands us! #BookCampPD
A3: I find I enjoy a childrenâs book as much as my students do! Their messages speak to our own inner child and allow us as adults to embrace the meaning in a unique way...so essentially childrens books are timeless and ageless #BookCampPD
Sometimes what we are learning indirectly and implicitly (such as writing) can be just as important as the obvious skills we are developing through reading relating to literacy. #BookCampPD
A2c: another favorite. Have you filled a bucket today by C. McCloud! I have it in English and in Spanish! Ss love it and refer to it in subsequent SEL lessons and activities all the time! They even go home and tell their families about it! â¤ď¸ #bookcamppd
Over THREE hundred educators have voted to help select the top eight books that will be included in our Winter/Spring focus! You still have 15 minutes to cast your vote as YOU MATTER at #BookCampPD

I never thought about it much until reading something recently that said you become a better writer, the more you read, as I write I notice my grammar is getting better â #BookCampPD
Yes, and that's a point I haven't thought of tonight until now, the idea that book options provided for children need to introduce them to different types of people and allow them to see themselves in the stories they read. #BookCampPD
It is marvelous! Especially a great idea during January for teachers to fill the buckets of others on cold, damp dreary days until spring arrives! #BookCampPD
Many thanks to @LiteracyChef for moderating our conversation during this #BookCampPD chat. Hoping all of you have a restful holiday season curled up with your favorite book!
Penny Kittle's books and Donalyn Miller's allude to reading leading to greater ability when it comes to writing. The transference of skills makes sense. #BookCampPD
These are the two books we will focus on during January. We won't have a chat on Dec. 30th but will begin the New Year with a bang on January 6th discussing "Disruptive Thinking - Why How We Read Matters" by @KyleneBeers and @BobProbst#BookCampPD
Didn't that fly by quickly?
Many times I am in a chat, reading responses, saving and bookmarking terrific ideas and I forget to 'follow' those who are so passionate about educating children. Here is a quick way to 'follow' others. #BookCampPD
Thank you #BookCampPD participants for sharing the magic, learning and joy found through #childrensbooks for learners of all ages. 'Tis the season to read. Warmest book blessings to you this holiday season.
