Reading becomes an adventure when students get to build, design, and create alongside their favorite stories. For too many children, books remain distant collections of words rather than doorways to imagination – but that changes when we introduce makerspace elements into our literacy instruction.
The magic happens when we invite students to physically recreate story settings using simple materials like cardb...

What if your child's biggest reading obstacle isn't their skills, but their belief about themselves as readers?

Does your active child struggle to sit still during reading time? You're not alone. That constant fidgeting, restlessness, and apparent disinterest in books isn't a sign they don't like reading—it's their body telling you they need to move to learn effectively.
I share the story of my son Jackson, who walked at nine months and was physically advanced but struggled with traditional sit-stil...
Reading doesn't have to be a battleground. After a long hiatus, I'm back with a critical message for parents and educators alike: we may be unknowingly turning kids away from books through three common mistakes.
The first mistake is forcing children to read only "just-right" books. When kids can only access books at their exact reading level, reading becomes a constant test rather than a j...
'Tis the season to be jolly, and what better way to spread some holiday cheer than with a good old-fashioned Christmas story?
