“The library should promote free, open, and equitable access to books for all students. Yes, life can be unfair. Our students will have plenty of opportunities to learn that. They don’t have to learn it in the library.” ⁦⁦SchoolLibraryJournal⁩ slj.com/story/Building…

Happy Picture Book Month! I love picture books. I collect them. I share them. I write them. Our students are never too old to be read aloud a picture book or to read aloud a picture book. mrschureads.blogspot.com/2023/11/2024-m…

Children's brain activity looks different whether they are reading narrative or informational text--no surprise that classroom research suggests our instruction for these genres should be different too (e.g., purposes established for reading, text structures taught, ?s asked...)

"School libraries are a vital resource, so when I hear of schools with no full-time librarian - and sometimes, no librarian at all - I’m bewildered. It’s like they’re asking students to walk through a dense and vast forest without a guide." - @jcostabates mrschureads.blogspot.com/2024/01/rica-b…
