Welcome in everyone.
I had a great week but went down a rabbit hole of reading and viewing as I am exploring ways to help my great nephew develop reading skills. It is so good that researchers and places share their information on You Tube and blog sites. Special thanks to Pennsylvania and Florida this time for feeding my mind overtime, giving me ideas and material to work with! I can see I will be spending quite a bit of time doing this so my own reading will lag. But if there is one thing I am passionate about its reading for all!
I am also expecting this book to arrive from Amazon soon and that will have me down that hole!
In the meantime I am reading on my Kindle
What I read last week:
Two very good books. Second one was an audiobook finish.
What I am reading now:
Reading and enjoying.
Also my slow and steady Gentleman in Moscow. I know readers have said I’d start reading it fast because it gets so good…. and it does! But for me a 20 to 30 minute a day savouring it is perfect. It deserves it!
I am listening to Thank You for Listening. Looks like it could be a self help book but it is by narrator Julia Whelan and is fiction. And has a narrator as the main character!
Up next:
From the library. I may get to it!
The Book Date 
I was the same way with Gentleman in Moscow. It took me forever to finish it because I found I preferred to read a chapter or two a night but I did love it. I’m so excited to get to Dewey Decimated. That’s one of my favorite series. Good luck with your nephew’s reading. We are homeschoolers and I am forever tumbling down learning related rabbit holes! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week!

I am sure that your nephew will love reading after your help. Keep us posted.
I didn’t know you were a reading teacher…I thought you taught computers. I was a business teacher, but everyone thinks I was an English teacher. LOL!!
Nice books.

Elizabeth I was a general classroom teacher which of course involved the teaching of reading and maths etc etc. We had a good number of computers in the classroom that meant we used them mainly for writing but other things too.

All these books look like great reads. How lucky your nephew is to have your expertise. May he blossom in his reading. My youngest really didn’t bloom til Gr. 4 when a male teacher motivated him. I did what I could, same as with my other 2, but he needed longer.
Happy reading this week!

So wonderful that you are helping your great nephew learn to read! Believe it or not, my older son really struggled learning to read in first grade & got very frustrated. I actually made my own books for him because he felt like the beginner reader books were too babyish! Now, at 28, he’s the son who is constantly reading & plows through 1000-page epic fantasies like they’re short stories!
So glad you are savoring and enjoying A Gentleman in Moscow. And Thank You for Listening sounds intriguing!
Enjoy all your books this week and thanks for hosting the linkup!

Are you still teaching? Or just take a keen interest in teaching students to read? (Can you hear my applause?) I am still reading the same The Winter Sea as last week, enjoying it very much. Have a great week!

Linda, no longer teaching. Retired. However when a family person is struggling to read it awakens my love of teaching reading. Great that you are enjoying The Winter Sea. I tried out your recipe for the peanut butter biscuits and am enjoying them!

I wish I was more knowledgeable about strategies to use to work with your nephew. If it were me, all I would know to do is read some books (or maybe graphic novels or joke books or fun nonfiction) with him.
