This MF Theodore Seuss Geisel honor book is a cute book for younger kids filled with colorful drawings and a fun song. It‘s good for math skills and counting. https://intentionalbygrace.com/pete-the-cat-and-his-four-groovy-buttons-activiti... this has some cute activities to do for the book. #ucflae3414sp21

ztorres Every time I see this book it never fails that I automatically start singing the song. I have read the book but I don't own it. I am putting it in my list for books to buy for my classroom library. I think you can't never go wrong with Pete the Cat series. 3y
PatriciaS I love this book, repetitive phases, read aloud is great for literary and fluency exercises wonderful books in this series, excellent review and resources. 3y
KellyR I absolutely love Pete the Cat books and there is quite the collection of them! I enjoyed your resources, the activities were very educational and fun for the students to complete. 3y
DrSpalding Pete the cat books do not disappoint! Children in the primary grades thoroughly enjoy these books. Universal design 2.3 could work and English learner strategy two could work as well specifically if you were having the students partner read or if you used this book as a guided reading text. 3y

A Ball for Daisy | Chris Raschka

This RF book is told through very cute illustrations that follows a dog and his beloved ball. This book has a Caldecott award and and would be good for LC. http://abcsofreading.blogspot.com/2012/07/a-ball-for-daisy.html?m=1 is a site with a lesson plan as well as worksheets and other activities. #ucflae3414sp21

ztorres This book seems to be so cute. Kids love animal books. Adding it to my list to read and maybe later on to my classroom library. 3y
DrSpalding When I see picture books that have won the Caldecott, I usually think read aloud or storytelling. What makes you think literature circles would work well with this text? 3y

Number the Stars | Lois Lowry

This HF Newberry medal book is one that I remember reading when I was younger. It follows a young Jewish girl and her family trying to escape and survive during World War 2. This would be good for IR. #ucflae3414sp21

Nrossi A map could be made following the family‘s path along with the path the Nazis took when learning about the Holocaust. A timeline could also be made. UDL 3.1 ( activate or supply background knowledge). EL 36 ( ask numerous questions which require higher level thinking responses) 3y
DrSpalding This is historical fiction at its best! Creating a timeline with critical events from World War II including Nazi occupation etc. would help students better understand this horrific event in world history. 3y

Blackout | John Rocco

This colorful picture book shows a hot summer night in the city mixed with a power outage. The family and community come together and spend time with each other teaching people to enjoy things and be in the moment. This RF book would be good for a RA and is a Caldecott honor book. #ucflae3414sp21

Nrossi https://www.rif.org/literacy-central/book/blackout has several activities for this book. UDL 3.1 (activate or supply background knowledge) EL 4 (link lesson topic to students prior knowledge) 3y
Vanvlieta I really like this book! I think activating background knowledge could promote discussion prior to reading. Students could bounce off one another‘s comments about a time when power was lost & they had to play boardgames with their family or find some other game to play(we love text to self connections!). Great review!🙌🏼 3y
DrSpalding Several of your peers selected this award winner as well. Reading is fundamental is a quality resource you should continue to use throughout the program and as a support when you take over a classroom of your own. Better job of explaining/connecting the universal design and English learner strategy to your resource and teaching strategy. 3y

This classic TL book takes a fun approach as a pop up book making the story that much more engaging. Helping Dorthy and her new friends find emerald city to get their wishes granted comes to life this way.

This was one of my favorite books as a kid and one that my mom would read to me all the time. This MF book would be great for DR. The story follows a little girl named Julie Ann who keeps getting jumped on by a mud puddle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fECGEJAouK8 this is a very cute reading by the author filled with all kinds of sounds and such an enthusiastic personality. #ucflae3414sp21

This MF book is a classic that‘s still loved and read today. It‘s a story of friendship that follows a pig named Wilbur and all the friends he makes on a farm. Throughout the story he‘s trying to avoid being slaughtered by the farmer and gets a lot of help from his friends. This is a Newberry award book and would be well used in LC.

Nrossi https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/unit-plans/teaching-content/charlottes-web-t... is a good source with several activities that can be used for this book. UDL 3.2 (highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships) and EL 2 (promote cooperation). #ucflae3414sp21 3y
KellyR This is such a classic, I never get tired of reading this story.I wouldn't have thought about using this story to discuss patterns but that makes sense especially since there is usually a daily message in the web. 3y
DrSpalding Your scholastic resource is excellent. I believe this book should be in every elementary school. Whether you choose to read it aloud or offer it as a book club option, this is high-quality children‘s literature that students should experience. 3y

This HF- LC book is about a boy living in the keys during the Great Depression. This book has a Scott Odell award. https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/lesson-plans/teaching-content/its-full-beans... here is a good lesson plan and activities to do with this book.

Nrossi UDL 3.1, teaching the students about the Great Depression and EL 42 by making a timeline of the events in the book. #ucflae3414sp21 3y
DrSpalding Your summaries require a bit more detail. English learner strategy 42 works beautifully with quality historical fiction. This book works well to complement social studies instruction in fourth grade. 3y

This MF- LC book is a great read. This book is about a girl named Luna who gets raised by a witch, a bog monster, and a dragon. There is a lot she has to learn, including how to deal with magic. This book is a John Newberry Medal award.

Nrossi UDL principle 3.2 and EL 42 which would be to create a timeline of the events in the story since so much happens! https://childrenslitforum.wordpress.com/2018/03/10/readers-guide-the-girl-who-dr... this site has a bunch of activities for the book. #ucflae3414sp21 3y
PatriciaS Wonderful review put on my read list 3y
DrSpalding Luna is a wonderful character. While English learner strategy 42 worked well for the previous post, there are others that would work better for this Newberry award winner. Book club/literature circles or even an after lunch read aloud. 3y

Gilbert the Ghost | Guido Genechten

This SF- RA book is a cute story good for Halloween time. It‘s about a little ghost named Gilbert who is not like the other ghosts and doesn‘t like being scary. He also makes an unlikely friend who helps him be himself.

Nrossi https://theresjustonemommy.com/vanishing-ghosts-halloween-activity-packing-peanu... this is a fun activity that has to do with ghosts and making them disappear! 3y
Nrossi UDL 1.3 and EL 46 doing hands on activities. #ucflae3414sp21 3y
AlexRobinson This seems like SUCH a cute book!! I always love these kind of Halloween books that takes the element of “scary” away as some students just don‘t like the scary books! It also gives students a different perspective, teaches themes of bravery, emotions, and non-judgement (in this case not judging Gilbert!) and the activity you picked to go along with it is SO cute! I will be saving that link! 3y
DrSpalding Holidays are a wonderful time to incorporate quality children‘s literature. This would be considered modern fantasy rather than science fiction. The front cover certainly is engaging. 3y

Waiting | Kevin Henkes

This MF-S book is ideal for younger students and can be told with little puppets or cutouts. This book is about toys sitting and waiting on a window watching the world happen while they wait to be played with. UDL 1.1 would be good here with a fun way to display the story and EL 17.

Nrossi This book is also a Caldecott Honor and Theodore Seuss Geisel Honor book 3y
DrSpalding You need a bit more detail regarding how the resource supports the EL/UDL you have identified. Make sure you include what the principles and strategies are and how they are enhanced using this book. 3y

Nrossi https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kNw8V_Fkw28&feature=youtu.be this would be fun to show the kids after reading the book. EL 32 to pair or group students together to talk about or read the book and UDL 2.4 #ucflae3414sp21 3y

This RF book is the book that follows Gaston. Antoinette discovers she has her own special talents like a very special nose that helps her save a friend! This book would be great for a RA as well as the first one.

Nrossi With this book, EL 2 would be good by having students discuss what they think one of their talents is in small groups. UDL 3.1 background knowledge. https://pin.it/2RaX40c this has activities to do with this book. #ucflae3414sp21 3y
DrSpalding More detail needed. Make sure you consult the author or publisher resource before randomly googling resources for these books. The best resources will be those created by the author and or publisher. 3y

A Good Night for Ghosts | Mary Pope Osborne

One of my favorite book series which would be perfect to have in any classroom. This SF book takes Jack and Annie back in time to New Orleans, Louisiana in 1915 on Halloween! They have to help Louis Armstrong bring his gift of music to the world while being in a spooky town.

Nrossi This book would be good for AS since she has been to tons of places that help her brainstorm her books. UDL strategy 3.1 for teaching background knowledge on New Orleans and Louis Armstrong. El 30 would be good for this. https://www.rif.org/literacy-central/book/magic-tree-house-42-good-night-ghosts this is also a good site with activities where you can make crossword puzzles and others! #ucflae3414sp21 3y
DrSpalding Reading is fundamental is a high-quality resource and I love the idea of an author study with this fabulous series. Kids enjoy crossword puzzles and that can work well with teaching vocabulary. 3y

This RF book is so cute and perfect to teach young students about the importance of love and not judging how someone looks. The story follows a bulldog named Gaston who has a family of poodles. They meet a family of bulldogs with a poodle and think it seems odd so the puppies switch places only to realize that felt wrong.

Nrossi This book would be great for RA with all the sounds and emotions. UDL principle 2.1 clarifying vocabulary would be good for younger students and EL 2. http://readingtokids.org/Books/BookView.php?pag=5&bookID=00001469&pview=yes Is a good source with vocabulary words and activities for the book. #ucflae3414sp21 3y

Kate, Who Tamed The Wind | Liz Garton Scanlon

This book is about a little girl who hears a man who lives on the hill and helps him solve the issue of it being very windy. This would be MF and would be good with S technique because of how it flows. This would be a good book to also tie in with a science lesson as it has to do with planting trees. UDL principle 1.1 with displaying information and EL 44.

Nrossi https://www.readbrightly.com/brightly-storytime-kate-who-tamed-the-wind/ this would be good for students to hear the book in a read aloud. #ucflae3414sp21 3y
DrSpalding 10 posts noted on time! Be sure to summarize the book a bit more and explain your resource a bit more as well. I like how you are explaining the universal design and English learner strategies however you must also include the verbiage along with the number or decimal. Be sure to do this on each post. 3y
