Reading instruction should help kids to develop metacognition when they’re reading, and involving students in self-evaluation can be an important part of instruction towards that goal.
It’s that time of year again! When the days start getting shorter and as temperatures cool down, that could only mean that it’s time for school to start again. There’s a lot to be excited about — new friends, old friends, learning interesting things. But school can be kind of scary, too. Find out if a girl’s buffalo is ready for school or how saber-toting pirates enjoy school. Practice a fire drill, ride a school bus, and more — all in the books suggested here, just in time for the new school year!
There are lots of things to explore, wonder about, and discover on a hot summer afternoon, all from the comfort of your coolest reading nook. Visit an alien landscape, meet a T-rex named Rufus, or count how many different kinds of fruits and vegetables you can find. You can become an armchair adventurer or ninja with a pirate pig or a bunny, even meet a poet named Caleb. These and more wait between the pages of books!
