Day bonus (of 2024/25) a gifted reader from a mom who also loves books.

Well, this was unexpected. A mom whom I have worked with at both schools I have been part of in qathet school district came into my office with an older reader. She had noticed some of my book shelves hold… classics…

Not all of them…

And she had a book from ‘grandma’ that none of her kids had any interest in, and she thought it would make a nice addition for people to read and explore …

A 1938 “nature and science reader” – first edition in 1932
It’s had quite a journey – Alkali lake is close to the school I worked at in year 2 of my career. Not close to the ocean!
A nice mix of black and white AND colour images!
Readers pre Fountas and Pinnell
Anything flamingo is awesome!
And a word list to highlight connectivity with “the Gates list” and which group of 500 words each fits in – Dolch sight words are more common now…

A fun pause to look at yesteryears resources! One genre for all to enjoy! And it still has the holder for the card catalog sign out form to be in… the review/tracking mechanism many of us used to see if the book was ‘cool’ or not.
