Dr. Joanne Meier has worked in the fields of early childhood and reading education for over 20 years. And on top of that she's also a mom raising her very own readers at home. Needless to say she has a lot of insight and helpful advice to share, and that's why we are loving her blog, Sound It Out. Reading Joanne's posts every week is a great way to learn from all her years of experience.
Here just a few of our favourite posts from Sound It Out:
This post is all about what we should do as parents and educators to help motivate children once they get the books in their hands, which is a very important step in promoting literacy.
A great post about how to encourage non-readers to read the books they have been assigned to read. Anyone who has attempted this knows it can be tough, so Dr. Meier's tips are much appreciated.
In this post, Joanne explains how picture books are actually the perfect supplement to an existing science program. For example, the colourful pictures and graphics in picture books can help explain abstract ideas to kids.
STELLAA would like to profile a new blog that deals with literacy, education, and/or books every month. Make sure to leave us a comment with any blogs that we should check out!
