As a reading specialist, literacy, coach, and children’s author, I cannot agree with this more! Teachers in my school district embrace graphic novels, and I sing their praises to parents whenever I have the opportunity! I’m thankful that our new GA ELA standards support this, too!

Day 7: 31 Days, 31 Lists - Caldenotts. What precisely is a "Caldenott"? A book where the illustrator is inconveniently from a country other than America. Today, we celebrate artists deserving in every possible way, save location. #kidlit 📚👍 afuse8production.slj.com/2024/12/07/3...

“Hope is our superpower.” - Bryan Stevenson at #NCTE24 Teaching kids to read, think, and write…this is hope. #readmorehateless #readwidely #readallthebooks #readthinkwritehope

Bryan Stevenson tells us it's time to change the narrative. It's time for truth and reconciliation, and English teachers can do this work through the power of literature. Hopelessness is the enemy of justice: we have to be agents of hope and be willing to do the uncomfortable thing. #NCTE24
