and there's more--literacy lava 4!

Literacy Lava 4 is here!

The fourth issue of Literacy Lava, a digital magazine (in pdf format) is available for you to read, download and use, share with others, or print and keep.

As usual, Literacy Lava 4 is erupting with great tips for parents, and suggestions for literacy activities to share with kids.

In this edition, you'll find:

• ideas for nurturing creative thinking;

• ways to use magazines with your kids;

• ideas for raising book-loving boys;

• advice for what to do if your child is not into writing;

• thoughts on how to encourage your child to love reading;

• ways to encourage inquisitiveness through hands-on learning;

• ideas on how to help children make connections through story extensions;

• an article on how to have children tell stories through movie-making.

And, the Online Extras and Activity Page for kids is not to be missed!

I'm grateful to have been a contributor for this issue along with numerous incredibly talented and creative educators. Many, many thanks to Susan Stevenson of The Book Chook for putting it all together!
