Oodles Bouffant is a very glamorous poodle who ris Oodles Bouffant is a very glamorous poodle who rises to fame. A woman spots Oodles on the streets of Paris and turns her into a star! She leaves her friends to become a movie star. All the fame and fortune was great, but she felt lonely. She returns to her friends in hopes they forgive her. 

Not only is fame and fortune not all it’s cracked up to be, but it can be lonely, too. I love this beautiful story of friendship and forgiveness. When Oodles left to become a star, she could have taken her friends with her, but instead she made a mistake and let the fame get to her head. It was beautiful to see Oodles give up everything just to be with her true friends again.

The Story of Oodles Bouffant releases August 4th, so make sure to preorder a copy today! 

Many thanks to @abprlifestyle for sending me a copy of the book🩷

COMMENT “WALL” 🔗 Listen up, teachers! Your word w COMMENT “WALL” 🔗

Listen up, teachers! Your word wall is doing more harm than good!

 Word walls:
❌rely on starting letters
❌don’t help kids decode 
❌have no orthographic mapping 
❌don’t focus on articulation 

Words walls are useless! Imagine being a kid who can’t decode and you’re told to “use the word wall.” 

So, this year, let’s take down those word walls and replace them with something the actually helps your students learn phonics and decode! 

My sound wall is aligned to the science of reading and:
✅uses real mouth pictures to help kids form and articulate the sound 
✅displays the different ways a sound can be spelled 
✅uses a speech to print approach that allows kids to match the sound to the graphemes. 

Comment “Wall” and I’ll send you the link! 🔗

Lilly’s Surprise Pumpkins is the perfect book to r Lilly’s Surprise Pumpkins is the perfect book to read this fall! 

When Lilly is walking through the orchard with her family, she notices green plants. They are volunteers - sprouts from the pumpkins they threw away last year. Lilly waits a long time for the plants to blossom. Now, the bees have to pollinate them, so Lilly waits some more. Soon, little pumpkins start growing and Lilly can’t wait to make pies, pancakes, toasted pumpkin seeds, and more! Lilly worries that foxes will eat the pumpkins, but her dad tells her the smell of her dog should scare them away. She worries about hungry deer, so her mom tells her to put smelly soap near the pumpkins. Finally, after waiting a long time, the pumpkins are ready to harvest! 

This is my first year growing my own pumpkins and it’s so exciting! Like Lilly, I dream of all the desserts I can make with my pumpkins while I wait for them to grow. Like me, many families grow their own pumpkins! Even if they don’t, this book is a great one to show kids the process of volunteers and might even encourage them to try growing their own! It’s the perfect book to read in the fall and would be perfect to read right before a trip to the pumpkin patch! 

Many thanks to @pubspotlight for sending me a copy of the book! 🎃

Duck is going to his play date with his friends wh Duck is going to his play date with his friends when the clouds roll in. Duck gets his truck stuck in the muck! He tries to push it, but it won’t move. Goose and Moose try to help, but it’s no use. When all of Duck’s friends show up, it’s a play date in the mud! And what was once an inconvenience turns into the best play date ever.

Truck in the muck is the perfect story to share with kids of any age! It depicts friendship and going with the flow when things don’t turn out the way you expected. It’s a fun read with rhyming text and beautiful illustrations. Definitely a must have for any library! 

Many thanks to @pubspotlight for sending me a copy of the book! 🩵
