I‘ve had this on my shelf for a couple of years. As a speech language pathologist, I‘m always looking for great ideas to improve our children‘s lives.

And that my friends is a wrap of 2016 reading... well completed books.

Again another fantastic compilation on teaching. This time it focused on the need to a) recognize the dialects used around us b) recognize the worth and beauty of Ebonics, especially in the classroom and c) that the use of Ebonics does not in any way mean an "inferior" use of English. It does not mean "uneducated". 5/5?

Must read. #lisadelpit #education
