Read Across
America Day 2021 is almost here!
In years past, educators spent the day celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday and reading his books.
When I taught, it was one of the most anticipated times of the school
year. It introduced a month-long author study of Dr. Seuss that included book
related art activities, snacks, and literacy lessons.
Because of Dr. Seuss’ racist roots, many teachers are scouting for alternative books to read to their students.
There’s a vast market of children’s books to choose from, but one facet that’s generally forgotten is self-published authors.
In my
modest opinion, self-published authors are an untapped resource full of rich
educational opportunities. Many have supplemental resources for their books and
welcome classroom visit invitations.
Self-published aka Indie Authors authors are an enthusiastic bunch of writers who adore children’s literature as much as schoolteachers.
How do I know this? Well, I’m a former Pre-K Head Start/Kindergarten teacher who reads, writes, and reviews picture books.
I’m friendly with many self-published children’s authors who are
passionate about their work.
Here’s a list of my award-winning books (Yes, I’m shamelessly plugging my books because I believe in them.) along with those I’ve read or reviewed specifically with educators in mind.
I seek out Indie Books that will improve classroom libraries
and lesson plans.
