WOW! Five issues of Literacy Lava, and every one is worth taking the time to print, read, and share!

I am incredibly honored to be among the fantastic, creative, and totally awesome contributors of this issue.

The fifth issue of Literacy Lava, a free pdf for parents or anyone who wants kids to love reading, writing and communicating, is now available from Susan Stephenson's website.

In this fifth edition of Literacy Lava, you’ll find:
  • ideas for helping kids develop spelling skills;
  • ways to pair fiction and non-fiction read-alouds;
  • ideas for letter writing with your kids;
  • information on whether graphic novels are real reading;
  • the skinny on how to unwrap a picture book;
  • tips for a loving bed-time story ritual;
  • ideas on how to help your video-loving kid to love reading too;
  • tons of ways to encourage kids to write poetry.
Don’t forget to check out the Online Extras page or the Activity page for kids. Enjoy and happy reading!

  2. I included a link in We Teach Reading to this post. I've seen Literacy Lava before, but I didn't take the time to read it. I'm so glad for the reminder. What a great free resource!

  3. Is this site down permanently? I tried all of your links and even did an internet search, but it is gone!

  4. Yikes!Shannon--I am SO sorry! I just emailed Susan to figure out what's going on, because the links wouldn't work for me, either!
