Thanks to What Do We Do All Day? for this timely post!

During this 25th Anniversary Week of 9/11, consider these wonderful picture books, poetry books, and novels to help children learn about and commemorate the brave Americans & the world-changing events of 9/11.

It can be disorienting to think that children who witnessed 9/11 and its immediate aftermath are now adults. The horrific events of the day seem so recent and I imagine we all remember exactly what we were doing when the news of the towers falling reached our ears. Finding a way to talk about tragic events with children can seem daunting. These books about 9/11 can be helpful.

Never Forget.

Self-control isn’t something children are born knowing.. it’s a skill we teach through connection, consistency, and practice. ❤️

Discipline CAN hold boundaries without breaking a child’s spirit.

Thanks to 1000 Libraries for this excellent post!

Most of us have planned a trip around one goal: seeing as much as possible before it's time to go home. We fill our itineraries with famous landmarks, day trips, and long lists of places to check off, believing that's the best way to travel.

But what if slowing down leads to a richer experience? This article explores the growing movement of slow tourism, the research on why fast-paced vacations often leave us feeling exhausted, and how spending more time in one place can help you discover its food, history, neighborhoods, bookstores, and people in a way that rushing never can.

Thanks to Dyslexia Center of Utah for this inspiring post!

Dyslexia should never be measured by what children struggle to do. It’s really about understanding how their brain learns and giving them the tools that allow their strengths to shine.

When children receive explicit, structured instruction, encouragement, patience, and the right support, something powerful happens, they begin to believe in themselves.

And confidence opens doors.

The goal isn’t to change who a child is.
It’s to give them the tools to discover what they’re capable of.

Because a dyslexic mind isn’t limited by the way it learns. With understanding and opportunity, it can change the world. — Dyslexia Center Of Utah

Thanks to Pathway 2 Success for this excellent infographic!

What US “working memory”? Working memory is the temporary storage of information in the brain in order to complete task. This is different from long-term memory, because it means juggling bits of information for short periods of times instead of trying to store it for years to come. This is one of the critical executive functioning skills necessary for success. Those with stronger working memory abilities can more easily remember directions, complete multi-step activities & work through challenging problems.

Think of working memory as though it were a mental sketch pad, a place to store information for short periods of time while we’re working through a task. Kids, teens & adults use this skill on a daily basis to completely basic & complex tasks.

For students, these tasks range from completing simple mental math in our heads while completing a math activity to following multi-step directions to finish a project.

Thanks to FRIENDS AND FICTION for this excellent “tribute” post to Dolly Parton!

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library is dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting books free of charge to children from birth to age five, through funding shared by Dolly Parton and local community partners in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and Republic of Ireland.

Inspired by her father’s inability to read and write, Dolly started her Imagination Library in 1995 for the children within her home county. Today, her program spans five countries and gifts millions of FREE books each month to children around the world.

Thanks to Georgia Ryan - Dyslexic Warrior for another important post!

It takes 4 times longer to intervene in 4th grade than it does in 1st grade.

The longer we wait to identify a child who struggles to read, the more intervention, the more time, money & remediation will be needed, not to mention the impact that waiting may have on the child’s self-esteem & mental health.

Don’t wait. Close the gap—now.
