Flora and the Flamingo is a F-RA Caldecott honor book about a girl who does a synchronized dance with a flamingo. This is an interactive open-the-flap book with NO WORDS which leaves lots of creativity open to the teacher and students. #UCFLAE3414SP21

melodyp This website https://www.theclassroombookshelf.com/2013/12/flora-and-the-flamingo/ has lots of activities that teachers can use in the classroom to enhance the reading of this book, such as “choosing your own plot line” and “partner picture walks and storytelling”. UDL 5.2 (use multiple tools for construction and composition) and EL 6 (continually monitor students‘ comprehension) are good strategies. 3y
Karissacurrier I love books with no words! I posted about one with no words as well. I love the different activities the recourse has that you included! 3y
DrSpalding Wordless picture books can be quite valuable in the classroom. As you noted it meets universal design principal 5.2 where you could have the students construct their own story! What a wonderful extension activity! 3y

I worked 13.5 hours of overtime last Saturday, but it was worth it. We arranged a #picturebook illustrators‘ studio tour. This is Molly Idle‘s studio where I‘m looking through an early dummy of the tagged book. In case you‘re curious, Molly is as lovely as her illustrations.

emtobiasz 😍 Love her stuff— I‘m so glad to hear she is lovely too! 4y

Flora and the Flamingo by Molly Idle is a RF picture book like no other. For starters, it tells an incredible story of an unlikely friendship with no words. This Caldecott winning book will make your students appreciate the diversity in literary works, a must have in your elementary classroom library. An “IR” assignment with this book will be amazing to see what students think of the book when discussing it as a group later on. #UCFLAE3414F19

karlasanabria1 The following link provides an amazing lesson plan for this amazing wordless book https://www.chroniclebooks.com/landing-pages/pdfs/flora_flamingo_penguin_discuss.... The UDL Guideline I thought was most pertinent to this story is offering alternatives for visual information (1.3). The ESOL Strategy I found fit well was linking lesson topic to students‘ prior knowledge (4). 4y

Flora and the Flamingo by Molly Idle was written in 2013 and is an award winning book. This book was so cute and really gives us a message about friendship. There are no words, but the illustrations tell us all we need to know. Flora was struggling with dancing and the Flamingo took her under her wing and helped her learn. They became friends through helping each other learn something new. Very cute.

This shows Flora mocking the positions that the flamingo is doing.

Although this book doesn‘t have words, I think it is a great book to show the wonder and curiosity of young children toward animals.

This book was very cute and fun, especially for girls. It shows how a curious little girl named Flora interacts with a flamingo and the way it‘s moves.

Flora and the flamingo is an illustrated award winning RF book by molly idle. It has no words through out the story but I thought it would be a great book for partnered reading since there‘s only 2 characters and the students could engage with each other by acting out the book. UDL: vary the methods of response and action. EL: Encourage self talk (positive thinking). Website with all her illustrations: http://idleillustration.com #UCFLAE3414SU19

Flora and the flamingo written by molly Idle is a Caldecott winning book that was published in 2014. This is also a picture book where the author had flap downs. The flap downs allowed the reader to be engaged and interact with the story. The story is about a young girl who is wanting to be like and dance with a flamingo. She eventually gets to dance with a flamingo and she is having the best time ever

This isnt your average picture book. This Caldecott award winning book by Molly Idle contains no words at all! But it tells a story nonetheless. This book can inspire students to create a story of their own especially if the struggle with reading and writing.

J.Cash Even though there are no words this book can be taught by RT, DR, and S. http://www.theclassroombookshelf.com/2013/12/flora-and-the-flamingo/ this link has many ideas how to encorperate this book into a classroom with state standards #UCDLAE3414SP18 6y

Sadly, I believe my flamingo has sprung a leak, so an opportunistic #rockycat takes advantage of sleeping spot. He has since moved once the sun hit him. #doesntfollowthesun #movesaround #summerinoz 🐱

Another one the kids really enjoyed lately is Flora and the Flamingo, a wordless picture book with flaps. It is an adorable story with great art. It is as good as Flora and the Penguin, another big hit in our house.

A little pink, a little yoga, and a little ballet come together in this wordless picture book. A serene experience for both readers, and read-­to‘s.
