Education
In which Dan talks with educator, author, and speaker Pernille Ripp (@pernilleripp) about the importance of developing young readers. For over a decade Pernille has run the Global Read Aloud, a six-week program that unites classrooms around a single text. Dan and Pernille discuss what it means to be a reader, helping our reluctant readers find books that speak to them, and why teachers need to listen to students about their reading needs. As always, I welcome comments and questions on Twitter @BigIdeaEdMentioned in the show:The Global Read Aloud, created and run by Pernille RippPernille Ripp on the webBooks:The One and Only Ivan by Katherine ApplegateAmal Unbound by Aisha SaeedThe Bridge Home by Padma VenkatramanWhen We Were Infinite by Kelly Loy GilbertShow Me a Sign by Ann Clare LeZotte Black Boy Joy, edited by Kwame MbaliaThis Poison Heart by Kalynn Bayron Healer of the Water Monster by Brian Young In the Wild Light by Jeff Zentner Music:Track: Sunflower — Soyb [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library PlusWatch: https://youtu.be/dG1U3NuR9PkFree Download / Stream: https://alplus.io/sunflower
