A Bad Case of the Giggles: Poems That Will Make You Laugh Out Loud | Bruce Lansky

pick

I like this poetry (P) book because students can release their humor with it. They can have fun while reading a text. I think this would be perfect for a readers theatre (RT), students would love to read funny things to their class so they could all laugh together. More than one student can read different lines of the poems.

AndreaG I agree...this is a great book for IR. My 5 yr old, who is still learning was able to read this one alone. It can be a huge confidence boost. 6y

juliette_kathleen This is really a great book for EL students to begin with! It‘s very simple short and to the point! One could easily translate the book into the ELs language and then make a list of vocabulary words with the student to better their vocabulary skills. 6y

DrSpalding It‘s autobiographical too. 🙂📚 6y

pick

This historical fiction (HF) would be a great IR and RA. Students that are interested in history would enjoy these books. This book could be utilized as a read aloud to inform the class about this period of time. I would use something like this in my classroom to give students factual information about this event.

JordanL I myself read a I Survived book, and they are excellent. This book would be a good addition to discuss one of the darkest days in American History, as many of our students weren't alive during these events and we'll have to teach about this to the coming generations. 6y

See All 6 Comments

LisaMart @kylamarie5 this is awesome, considering as future educators we will have to teach our students about 9/11 considering they were not born to experience the event. Great post, but I‘m not sure it‘s considered HF yet, since it occurred only 17 years ago. I think it‘s still RF. Not sure though! I know that I definitely want to get this book! 6y

DrSpalding Nice support for a super series! Fantastic resource! 6y

Wonder is a Realistic fiction (RF) novel about a boy named August who was born with Treacher Collins Syndrome. The books takes you through August Pullman‘s life as the new kid in 5th grade. I think all students and teachers should read this book, it has an amazing message about kindness that everyone can learn from. Choosing kindness makes a huge difference. Wonder is a #1 New York Times best seller and I understand why!
#UCFLAE3414SP18

JordanL This book snagged my attention as I've heard it from two different classes now and that it became a movie. I'm very intrigued about this book I must say, and I think this book would be a great read for a Read Aloud as it allows students to understand kindness. Glad you enjoyed it! 6y

Noelle5 Yes I loved this book! Read it for independent LC! Also went to the movie and loved it. It‘s such an emotional but feel good book and movie. I think all teachers should read this book to their students. I love the focus on bullying and how he overcame that and how bullying can effect someone‘s self esteem. 6y

Jeffersleighann I fell IN LOVE with this book! I feel in love with Summers kindness and Jacks kindness as well. I love how it‘s written with different sides of the story and showing that August really isn‘t that different. 6y

This modern fantasy (MF) is a great book for partner reading (PR) that teaches manners. There is a spanish translation for every english sentence on each page. This would be a perfect book to do a partner reading with an EL. It would help the EL see how the translation sounds in English and what the words look like. It gives both students a chance to take turns reading in their fluent language.
