Literacy Lava – excellent (free) resource

 Literacy Lava 5

I’ve got an article in the latest edition of Susan Stephenson’s (The Book Chook) great e-newsletter, “Literacy Lava.”

“Literacy Lava” is a free .pdf for parents and educators, and is basically a collection of great articles on helping kids to read.

This is the 5th edition of the newsletter and it includes:

  • my article, on getting your video-loving kid to read;
  • developing spelling skills;
  • whether graphic novels are real reading;
  • encouraging kids to write poetry;
  • and much, much more.

It’s a tremendous resource, very professionally done, with articles taken from various experts on children’s literacy. Stephenson does it as a labour of love, and to help promote her excellent blog, “The Book Chook.”

I’m honoured to have been asked to contribute to the e-newsletter; I’m in excellent company.

Click here to download a free copy of the .pdf. While you’re on the site, click around and you’ll find lots of gems – including back issues of Literacy Lava.
