Happy I Read Canadian Day, everybody! If you’re not familiar, today is the day we celebrate Canadian stories by reading a Canadian book for 15 minutes. All forms of reading count, and you certainly don’t have to stop after 15 minutes. Goodness knows I never do!
This year, I’m celebrating I Read Canadian Day with a stack of Canadian, STEM-themed picture books, many of which will be featured in my upcoming presentation for NCTE (the National Council of Teachers of English). If you’re also attending the conference, keep your eyes open for me and my partners in crime: author Rochelle Strauss and teacher Chris Carlton. We’ve teamed up to talk about the use and impacts of nonfiction in the classroom, and we’d love to see you!
Thank you for celebrating such a fantastic day! While I read Canadian primarily, it’s nice to learn about other readers and new authors to celebrate with1
Thanks, Sarah! And welcome.
