“Hannah features books that kids will genuinely enjoy reading. Her summaries, suggested reader age, and ‘Recommend this book to students who enjoyed…’ sections give you the confidence to recommend titles you haven’t read yet (though you’ll certainly want to read all of her picks!). Hannah gives thoughtful ideas for how to incorporate her selections into your classroom either as independent reading or as part of your direct instruction, and she includes links to activities, hand-outs, and neat projects. Featured books are current, diverse, and appealing. This newsletter has introduced me to so many titles I can’t wait to share!”

“As a teacher librarian, I always look forward to reading this newsletter. Hannah consistently has great recommendations as well as invaluable insights into how to utilize texts with students. The ‘Literacy Love Notes’ sections that contains additional information on authors or literacy topics is particularly noteworthy!”
