Who Was Mister Rogers?
Who Was Mister Rogers? | Diane Bailey, Who Hq
5 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Learn how Fred Rogers, a minister and musician from Pennsylvania, became one of America's most beloved television personalities and everyone's favorite neighbor. Even though he's best known for his successful PBS series Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, Fred Rogers never dreamed of working in television. In fact, he hated the very first program that he ever watched! Join author Diane Bailey as she takes readers through the journey that brought Mister Rogers into our living rooms. From his childhood interest in puppet-making and music, to his courageous visit to Russia during the Cold War, this book details Mister Rogers's quest for kindness and his gentle appeal to be more neighborly.

Really enjoyed this B, NY best-selling book about one of my favorite people in history. Follow along as we learn all about Mister Roger‘s and his significance in our childhood as well as his impact on children‘s television.

This is a great option for PR to learn about an important figure. This would increase mastery-oriented feedback. As they discuss with one another what they are learning about Mister Roger‘s and why they each found the information important (8.4)UDL.

For my EL‘s, I would highlight important sections of the text I want them to focus on and share with their partner and vice versa (27.)

Mmurphy An awesome resource is the “WHO HQ” website full of activity pages and games to help your students stay engaged while learning about him. https://www.whowasbookseries.com/books/who-was-mister-rogers/

DrSpalding I still have not seen this movie with Tom Hanks. Your resource is excellent and so is this series. I like the idea of partner reading or even using these books as independent reading as they research an important current day or historical figure. 4y
