From the Talking With Tami Blog🦋

"Teaching kids to read is one of the most important foundations for their overall development.🧠Here’s why it’s so crucial:

1. Builds Communication Skills🗣️
Reading helps children understand language, sentence structure, and vocabulary. This directly improves how they speak, write, and express themselves.

2. Supports Academic Success🎓
Reading is the key to learning in all subjects—math, science, history, and more. Kids who read well can better understand instructions, stories, and concepts.

3. Boosts Imagination and Creativity💡
Books transport children to new worlds, introduce them to different cultures, and spark creativity by encouraging them to think beyond their immediate surroundings."

Heroes Don't Have to Fly is PERFECT for SEL day!💚💙💜

Scooter the bird has always wanted to fly around and use words to help others just like his favorite author, Wendell.🦜

The only problem is that he can’t fly, so he uses a scooter. Bully bird Squawk teases him and the other birds. “Are you even a bird?” Squawk says meanly to Scooter. And Scooter knows how much words can hurt, so he takes some advice from Wendell’s book and decides to stand up to Squawk and help his friends—by using positive words!🛴

One day when Scooter finds himself in a dangerous situation, to his surprise it’s Squawk who offers words that help him. Knowing the power of positive words, Scooter makes a friendly offer to Squawk that hopefully will get Squawk to change his bullying ways.😊
