    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
  • TimelessLrng Dec 23 @ 7:38 PM EST

    In reply to @Mr_Schellenberg
  • Mr_Schellenberg Dec 23 @ 7:40 PM EST
    A1: If a child loves a particular children’s 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
  • Hahne_Elyse Dec 23 @ 7:40 PM EST
    A1 When students other students their age facing trials, overcoming obstacles, and being real, they connect and support their journey along the way. #BookCampPD
  • mjjohnson1216 - Moderator Dec 23 @ 7:40 PM EST
    "Eve Eve" <-- you're so cute with your expressions! Nice to see you in #BookCampPD tonight
    In reply to @JulieGB7
  • Mr_Schellenberg Dec 23 @ 7:41 PM EST
    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. A book can take us anywhere, even if we didn't know that is where we wanted to go. #BookCampPD
  • mjjohnson1216 - Moderator Dec 23 @ 7:42 PM EST
    I certainly had this one memorized! I adored it. #BookCampPD
    In reply to @Mr_Schellenberg
  • JulieGB7 Dec 23 @ 7:42 PM EST
    A1: I love using children’s books in my SEL lessons. They connect w/characters’, their feelings, prior books shared, & build empathy. #bookcamppd
  • Mr_Schellenberg Dec 23 @ 7:42 PM EST
    A1: Falling “in love” 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
  • mjjohnson1216 - Moderator Dec 23 @ 7:43 PM EST
    Question three, our final question, drops in one minute. #BookCampPD
  • mjjohnson1216 - Moderator Dec 23 @ 7:43 PM EST
    I wonder how many parents know that the repetition of words is something that is huge for language development with their children? #BookCampPD
    In reply to @Mr_Schellenberg
  • heARTISTatWORK Dec 23 @ 7:43 PM EST
    A1: I was not there so don’t 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 they’re ready...thru adulthood as well #BookCampPD
  • mjjohnson1216 - Moderator Dec 23 @ 7:44 PM EST
    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
  • mjjohnson1216 - Moderator Dec 23 @ 7:44 PM EST
    I think it is one of the best activities for SEL - certainly better than any pre-packaged program. #BookCampPD

    A2. Dr. Seuss is always good. #BookCampPD

    Something appears to be VERY off in my scheduling of the tweets! My apologizes! #BookCampPD
  • Hahne_Elyse Dec 23 @ 7:45 PM EST
    A2 I highly recommend Julia cook’s books. She supports SEL while portraying a story. My students love it. #BookCampPD
  • ProfJPizzo Dec 23 @ 7:45 PM EST
    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!
  • Mr_Schellenberg Dec 23 @ 7:45 PM EST
    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

  • JulieGB7 Dec 23 @ 7:48 PM EST
    Q2: one I enjoy for SEL is Red A Crayon’s Story by M. Hall. I’ve used it to discuss acceptance, differences/similarities, strengths, unexpected things we can be good at. Great convos from this book! #bookcamppd
  • Mr_Schellenberg Dec 23 @ 7:49 PM EST
    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
    In reply to @heARTISTatWORK, @mjjohnson1216
  • JulieGB7 Dec 23 @ 7:49 PM EST
    A2b. I also love Maria Dismondy’s books for SEL. #bookcamppd
  • mjjohnson1216 - Moderator Dec 23 @ 7:50 PM EST
    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
  • heARTISTatWORK Dec 23 @ 7:50 PM EST
    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 it’s probably easier to find the one book that doesn’t fit the bill. #BookCampPD
  • Mr_Schellenberg Dec 23 @ 7:50 PM EST
    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
  • pammoran Dec 23 @ 7:50 PM EST
    A2 I like an older Caldecott Grandfather’s Journey by Allen Say - builds a sense of relationship, history, and empathy within the story #BookCampPD
    In reply to @mjjohnson1216
  • Mr_Schellenberg Dec 23 @ 7:50 PM EST
    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
  • Kuglmee Dec 23 @ 7:51 PM EST
    A2: A Place Where Hurricanes Happen, The Girl Who Never Makes Mistakes, Spaghetti on a Hot Dog Bun #BookCampPD
  • Mr_Schellenberg Dec 23 @ 7:51 PM EST
    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
  • mjjohnson1216 - Moderator Dec 23 @ 7:51 PM EST
    My children adored books with puzzles or something hidden! #BookCampPD

  • Rdene915 Dec 23 @ 7:52 PM EST
    Enjoying the books listed, learning more 😃 #bookcamppd
  • Mr_Schellenberg Dec 23 @ 7:52 PM EST
    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
  • Hahne_Elyse Dec 23 @ 7:52 PM EST
    A3 Children’s books aren’t 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
  • Dsoares_MiddHS Dec 23 @ 7:52 PM EST
    A3: good vocabulary development and knowledge acquisition #BookCampPD
  • JulieGB7 Dec 23 @ 7:53 PM EST
    A3: they contain valuable lessons, problem solving, and are jump starters to great discussions and topics for further writing. They’re also relatable at any age! Our older Ss often refer back to “bucket filling” from yrs ago. #bookcamppd
  • mjjohnson1216 - Moderator Dec 23 @ 7:53 PM EST
    Exemplars for their future <-- now, I had never thought about that aspect. You're SO right!! #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
  • Rdene915 Dec 23 @ 7:54 PM EST
    My favorites were Paddington Bear and anything Beverly Cleary #BookCampPD
    In reply to @Hahne_Elyse
  • heARTISTatWORK Dec 23 @ 7:55 PM EST
    A3: I find I enjoy a children’s 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
  • mjjohnson1216 - Moderator Dec 23 @ 7:55 PM EST
    Reflecting ...... I just wonder ..... I think I see some Beverly Cleary in your writing! #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
    In reply to @mjjohnson1216
  • JulieGB7 Dec 23 @ 7:56 PM EST
    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! ❤️ #bookcamppd
  • mjjohnson1216 - Moderator Dec 23 @ 7:57 PM EST

    A2 pt2: Thank You, Mr. Falker was one of this year’s faves in 2nd grade. They could all relate #BookCampPD
  • Mr_Schellenberg Dec 23 @ 7:57 PM EST
    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
    In reply to @LiteracyChef
  • mjjohnson1216 - Moderator Dec 23 @ 7:57 PM EST

    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
