I don’t normally do a week-in-review post but this past week was such a celebration of literacy (with Share A Story and World Read Aloud Day), I wanted to highlight some things as well as thank a bunch of people for helping make it a great week.
First off, if you didn’t get a chance to check out Share A Story please visit when you have the opportunity. Thanks to Terry Doherty for helping organize this amazing blog tour. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the posts as well as having the opportunity to serve as one of the hosts.
Thanks also to Dawn Little of Links to Literacy for hosting Book Dads on Day 2: The Gift of Reading. I had so many responses from dads for our post, I had to break them up into three separate ones: Dads Share Their Story Part 1, Part 2, Part 3. Thanks to all the dads, authors and bloggers who took the time to share their gift of reading with me.
I’d also like to thank Danielle from There’s A Book for hosting Book Dads on Day 3: Literacy 2.0. This might have been my favorite day of posts. I couldn’t believe the number of resources people shared, and have been waiting for an opportunity to visit those links. Here is our post for that day: Unwrapping Literacy 2.0: The Color Nook with Toddlers.
World Read Aloud Day was on Wednesday. Check out their appearance on Good Morning America.
You did an awesome job this week with your Dads and Literacy piece, plus keeping everyone informed with all the exciting happenings through Twitter. Thanks so much.
You so totally rock! I loved all of your work this week, and especially the piece you did for the Literacy 2.0 day. Such a fantastic week! Thank you again, I’m SO happy you joined in for the day I hosted.
Thanks Eric – it was a lot of fun!
You so totally rock more
What makes Share a Story so special is the ensemble cast and how it grows … reminds me of some of those days in gym when we were kids where each of us picked a “movement” and then added on to make a machine!
Now, if only I could stay in my pajamas and read all day!!!
Thank you SO MUCH Chris for making it a truly spectacular week.
Thanks for the shoutout! I LOVE that pj shot! TOO cute.
