Happy National Reading Month!
Of course, every month is reading monthāand every day is reading day!
But March makes National Reading Month official, and weād like to help you celebrate.
- āBrain Buildersā is an animated video series you can share with your students to help them understand what the brain does in order to readāplacing reading science in the hands (and brains!) of students.
Your kids will join Minh on his journey as his babysitter, Tamara, helps him cultivate a love for readingāwhile also learning a bit of cognitive science. The series includes 13 episodes that you wonāt want to miss!
- āā makes learning to read fun (with the help of a talking dog, of course). Created by a pair of performers during the COVID-19 quarantine, the show became a smash hit when came on to help it grow.
The series is based on the Science of Readingābut thatās not why students like it! They get to follow and practice along with Dusty the Dog as his person, Dott, teaches him to read. All the while, the kids are learning the underlying components of skillful word reading such as phonological awareness, letter names/sounds, and blending sounds.
And for a little good old-fashioned coloring, weāve also created for your students to bring alive with their own imaginations.
We hope you enjoy celebrating your kidsā brains and creativity!
