The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a book that I hold dear to my heart. This book has been with me for as long as I remember. I remember a lot about this book and it being read to me by my parents when I was little. This book will always have a place in my heart and is a awesome read for young readers and young students. This book can be used in many ways with many different activities in the classroom. #ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would incorporate EDL 1.3, offer alternatives for visual information. I would incorporate storytelling with this book as well as other visual representations that help students understand the story. I would also use ELL 17, provide contextual support through audio-visuals, models, demonstrations, body language and facial expressions. I would use this alongside storytelling as well as helping students understand the story and its plot. 7y

Where the Wild Things Are | Maurice Sendak
post image

Where the Wild Things Are is a book about a little boy who about a forest and vast ocean filled with monsters that are his friends. I have never read this book before and I'm sad that I haven't got to it till now. I know it was made into a major motion picture film. This book is a great fantasy read for students and can also be used for storytelling.#ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would use EDL 9.3, develop self-assessment and reflection. Students would reflect and assess what's the story is about and the main Kia of the story that they heard. I would also incorporate ELL 36, ask numerous questions which require higher level thinking responses. I would use this in conjunction with EDL 9.3 to help assess and reflect on the story they heard. 7y

Charlotte's Web | E. B. White
post image

Charlotte's Web has been a classic among many people. It is definitely a classic for me since I have read and seen many different iterations of the story in movies. This is one of my favorite stories to read and watch! This book is a great chapter book for students to read and make references and reflections over.#ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would incorporate EDL 3.2, highlight patterns, critical features, Big Ideas, and relationships. I will use this to help students figure out the different patterns and relationships with the characters in this book. They would be able to make inferences about each character and their relationship to one another. I would also use ELL 36, ask numerous questions which require higher level thinking responses. 7y

The Little Prince | Antoine de Saint-Exupry
post image

The Little Prince is a book that I found out about after seeing the movie on Netflix. After seeing the movie I realize that it was based off of a children's book and after that I started reading it. The book is fantastic for young readers and gives a great deal of imagination for the reader to explore! This fantasy book is one of my favorites.#ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would incorporate EDL 1.3, offer alternatives for visual information, story-telling session with this book and using props and other types of visual methods to help the students understand the story better. I would also use ELL 8, use direct instruction: modeling, explaining, scaffolding, name the strategy and show how to use it. I would use this with my storytelling to allow students to understand the story as well. 7y
dakotap This link will take you to a trailer for The Little Prince movie on Netflix that got me into reading it the book: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iloGbpCbDQE 7y
Floribelg You could also use comparison activities such as Venn diagrams to note the differences between the book and the movie. Great choice! 7y
MorganH I didn‘t realize this was on Netflix! I definitely need to check it out now. Its a cute story! 7y
JordanHull The movie was great I watched it after our Barnes and Noble trip. This is a touching tale and would be a great and impactful storytelling! Great post, great book 👍🏻 7y

Frederick | Leo Lionni
post image

While searching through the bookstore to find some children's books that I could use for it let's see project I came across the book Frederick. This book is a fantastic read for young readers. This book tells a tale about a mouse who instead of gathering food for the winter collects different types of colors and words to help him cheer up the other mice during the winter storm.#ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would use EDL 2.1, clarify vocabulary and symbols. I would use this to help students understand the types of words and how to use and form them in two paragraphs and sentences. I would also use ELL 5 Teach techincal vocabulary supporting key concepts to allow for students to use these key terms with the lesson i have constructed. 7y

The Rainbow Fish | Marcus Pfister
post image

The rainbow fish was a book that I've had since I was really little. This book was a very great early starter Reed. This book is about a fish who finds friendship and happiness when he learns to share. This book will be great and early classes to help teach students about sharing and being nice.#ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would use EDL 8.1, heighten salience of goals and objectives, to allow students to make goals and create objectives that center around sharing and being nice to one another. I would also use ELL 15, reinforce the key ideas you present again and again. I would use this to make sure the students are aware of the moral of the story and how it can be attached to everyday life. 7y

The Crossover | Kwame Alexander
post image

I have never heard of this book until Dr. Spalding showed it to us. This book is amazing in the fact that it is geared to certain types of students in schools. The author really wanted his students to get more into reading so he created a RF about basketball. It has also won two awards, one being the Newberry medal.#ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would use EDL 8.3, Foster collaboration and community, by using this book to bring more children into reading and get them excited for new types of books and genres. I would also use ELL 2, promote cooperation, to let the students build ideas and comprehend the story and the meaning behind the creation of the book. 7y

A Wrinkle in Time | Madeleine L'Engle

I did not know about this book until after seeing the trailer for the movie that Disney is making. After seeing that trailer I instantly grab the book to read it I have not finished it but as of I have read it is an awesome book. This book brings us on a journey through Discovery and Imagination and has lots of twists and turns within its story. This book would be great for young readers to read on their own time and reflect on it.#ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would use EDL 8.1, heightened salience of goals and objectives. I would use this to create a reflection that the students would do that list the objectives within the book and the story elements. I would also use ELL 6, continually monitor students comprehension, to help me make sure that the students understand the plot and the main points of the story after reading. 7y

For a person like me who enjoys comic style books, I really enjoyed this book! Its a great fantasy book that won a newberry honor award. This book is also a great way to introduce students and children into comic style books that can get their imagination running! This link is a video of the book trailer that is sure to get you reading! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEmrTJOscvo
#ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would us EDL 2.2, clarify syntax and structure. This would help students learn the structures of comic design and how it is structured. I would use this with a activity that allows them to create their own comic strip and story. I would also use ELL 2, promote cooperation, with the comic strip activity so that they can work together to create a story they like. 7y
MorganH Your strategies align so well! Great ideas! 7y

I love the pigeon series, but out of all of them The Pigeon Finds A Hotdog is my favorite. It is an awesome story and life lesson for students. This book like others in its series follows the pigeon and the different adventures that he goes through. This book would be a great storytelling piece for students. #ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would use EDL 1.3, offer alternatives for visual information, by creating a storytelling presentation for the students. I would also use ELL 17, provide contextual support through audiovisuals, models, demonstrations, body language and facial expressions. This would help with storytelling and allowing students to understand the story in a different way. 7y

One of the only reason why i knew about this book was from the movie trailer. After i read the book i definitely want to see the movie now! This F is a great story about a kid named auggie Pullman wgo has a face deformity and his wonderful journey through his first day at school and making friends. #ucflae3414f17

dakotap When having tgis in my class i would use EDL 2.5, illustrate through multiple media, by playing the movie and letting the kids read to help compare both types of media. I woild also us ELL 10, teach think, pair and share strategies in Cooperative groups with EDL 2.5. 7y

I have had this book since I was in late Elementary School. This book is a great chapter book for students who like good Mysteries. This book is a great read to have in the classroom to help kids get into Mysteries and see what they are like! The 39 Clues book takes you on a journey with Amy and Dan Cahill where they try to find their family's power and the mysteries behind it. #ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would use UDL 3.2, highlight patterns, critical features, Big Ideas, and relationships. This would help with understanding the story and the mysteries within the book. I would also use ELL 15, reinforce the key ideas you present again, so that students can understand the information within the book. I would be able to get the key ideas "stuck in their head". 7y

When I went to barnes and noble with the class i saw this book and I got excited! The Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book out of the Harry Potter series. I am happy to see a picture book verison of the 3rd book in the series! This would be great for students to get into more High Fantasy books at a lower reading level. I would definitely have this book in my classroom to help kickstart more high fantasy stories with the students.#ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would use UDL 2.1, clarify vocabulary and symbols, to help with keypoints in the story. I would also use ELL 5, teach technical vocabulary supporting key concepts, to go along and help with UDL 2.1. 7y

The Berenstain Bears and the Jump Rope Contest | Stan Berenstain, Jan Berenstain

This book is different because it is geared to early developmental children. However, this book and its many series in the berenstain family can be used to teach life lesson for early learners. I would definitely use the F to create a better mindset within young children. #ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would use EDL 2.1, clarify vocabulary and symbols. This would be great for emphasising important words and phrases that go with the lesson i am teaching. I would also use ELL 6, continually monitor students' comprehension, to make sure they are understanding the material given. 7y

After having to read this many times over for teachlive, i have found this book to be a great educational tool on teaching children about the towers and what happened and to never give up on a dream. This book follows a man named Philippe and his dream to walk across the towers on a rope. This historical fiction book would be great to teach about peoples dreams and ambitions that led to major historical moments in history. #ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would use EDL 3.1, activate or supply background knowledge. This will help the students understand what the importance of this historical event was. I would also use ELL 4, link lesson topic to students prior knowledge. I would see what the students knows about the two towers and the significance behind them. 7y
Radams This is an awesome book, I read it for teach live as well. You included great UDL and EL strategies to enhance your lesson. One thing I‘m not quite sure about is whether it‘s considered HF or NF. I thought NF, but HF seems right too. 7y
dakotap Definitely a HF since it talks about historical events throughout the book and phillipe accomplishment he made. 7y

I was given this book by Dr. Spalding herself. And i am so glad i picked this one! This book is a simple read for younger children and it talks about trixie and how she loses her bunny during a trip to the laundromat. This book is a great storytelling book for younger elementary since it is a very simple read.

dakotap I would use EDL 9.3, Develop self-assessment and reflection. I would use this in class so that students can, after the reading is done, self assess and comprehend what the main idea of the story was and what it was about. I would also use ELL 6, contiually monitor students' comorehension 7y

I need to thank my sister for letting me borrow this book. It is a wonderful book that talks about never giving up on your dreams. This RF has many ways to be included in the classroom that could help with teaching about going for your dreams and never giving up. This book won two awards: the Corretta award and the Ezra Jack Keats Honor book. #ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would use EDL 1.3, Offer alternatives for visual information. I would use this because since it is a big book and the drawings are the main parts of the book I would try to help my students see what they're listening to. I would also use ELL 17, provide contextual support through audiovisuals, models, demonstrations, body language and facial expressions, because it would go along with my EDL 1.3 7y

I have had this book ever since i was in Elementary school. These books have been an awesome read and a great twist on a story that involves cats. This book is in the styles of survival with cats that can talk and belong to different "clans". This realistic fiction would be a great read for children during the summer to continue their comprehension skills. This RF has many different sequels and spin offs that would surely keep and student busy.

dakotap I would use EDL 2.1, clarify vocabulary and symbols. I would use this because the book, depending on the student, might be a bit advanced. So i would help clarify any vocabulary and symbols that are difficult. I would also us ELL 2, promote cooperation. This goes with my EDL 2.1 in which students would help each other to better understand and comprehend the book. 7y

When i started reading this book i was instantly transported to a different world. This book takes us on a journey with a little girl as she comes to know her newly found powers and the many obstacles that come her way. This work of fiction is a great read for the classroom and for young readers. This F is a great way for children to strengthen their imagination. This book has also won the Newberry award. #ucflae3414f17

dakotap I would use UDL 8.1, this is because it will help heighten salience of goals and objectives. The girl in the story goes through many objectives and goals that she needs, this will help children learn more about goals and objectives. I would also use ELL 17, provide contextual support through audiovisuals, models, demonstrations, body language and facial expressions. This would help spark their imagination and be able to see what they are reading. 7y
