A Few New "Friends"

6/26/2022

I wanted to share great resources with all of you.  A virtual tip of the hat. of sorts.
​
Let me preface this post by saying that I have never actually met any of these incredible women, but if I ever did, I think that we'd be fast friends. If you like what we're doing at Read it Again, I think you'll also enjoy each of the sites that follow.

​Ruby Reads -  This site has very cool book boxes with all the supplies needed in order to complete the activities that align with each story. However, what I LOVE the most are the huge (28” x 40”) read aloud posters this site sells! The illustrations are simply beautiful and the wide variety of educational opportunities within each poster provide you with weeks of interactions for your kids as you read the novel aloud.
Don't be fooled, these are not simply large coloring sheets.
Each poster has specially-designed spaces to complete together, such as: character portraits, vocabulary builders, illustrated story maps, and story timelines.

Stay at Home Activity Mom - Brittany, the owner of this company, has her eye on the preschool learner. She sells monthly themed activity boxes, sensory jars, STEAM kits, and a full year’s curriculum for you and your preschooler titled, Play at Home Preschool.  I absolutely LOVE and EMBRACE her fun approach to learning.

​Book Nerd Mommy - This site is FULL of incredible reading opportunities.  I'm telling all my kindergarten teacher friends about her book lists. There's a list for just about any topic you can imagine! In addition, be sure to check out everything associated with the RECIPES menu. She has cool recipes that align with tons of great books. She also has book lists for just about every age and topic. ​

Days with Grey -  My best friend's daughter couldn't stop talking about this site. While it's not specifically a "reading site", I still wanted to include it. Beth, the site owner is best know for her series of  “Breakfast Invitations”. Breakfast invitations are simple games or activities that inspire creativity and independent play throughout the day. ​What's cool is that they're designed to be put out at night and ready for the kids when they wake up the next morning. Best of all, they're SO simple to create.

One Question a Day

 When I discovered this cool journal, I purchased 4 copies to give as gifts and hopefully to someday fill out with future grandchildren.
It has one question for you to ask each day and it lasts for 3 years. It sounds a little confusing, but each year you come back and ask the same question (see the sample page below).
I wish that I'd had this when my own children were young. I would love to see how their answers changed over time. Wait, maybe I should have purchased additional copies so that I could take it all the way through  each child's 8th year (I'd probably start at age 3).

Questions in the journal include:
  • If you could choose to do anything today, what would you want to do?
  • What do you like best about yourself?
  • What's is your favorite thing to do with______?

My favorite part of each guide has to be the comprehension questions. We read together all the time, but  I never know what questions to ask. These guides have the basic questions, but also, deeper thought provoking questions that really get my kids  thinking!     Andrea Lubitz - Charlotte, NC
