A4 #MGBookChat: It's so important for kids to see parents or guardians read. I often see adults push reading but forget to model that behavior. If kids see you read for fun, they'll want to as well... #amreading #mglit #summerreading

Because #MGBookChat has the best recommendations -- what are your favorite MG animal stories? We're studying zoology next year & looking for books for my animal-loving youngest. His favorites are Because of Winn-Dixie & A Wolf Called Wander by @RosanneParry

A2: Not as much dialogue. NIV tend to be more internalized. It can take some kids a bit to adjust to that along with the figurative language. #MGBookChat

A1: One appeal is the fact that they read quickly which is great for reluctant readers. But I think the way they resonate emotionally ends up being the bigger draw. NIV feel almost like the reader is searching for the words right along with the character. #MGBookChat

A7. #MGBookChat I just picked up Scritch Scratch today at the library.
A7 Getting into some heavier stuff with DoanPhuong Nguyen's Mèo and Bé, R. L. Toalson's The First Magnificent Summer #MGBookChat
@RosanneParry Yeah we always try to get our 10 district chosen books that kids can read and vote on @ssbooks36 out before the end of the school year because some kids like to start reading them in the summer! #MGBookChat
It's funny, but both of the ones I can think of off the top of my head are #YA series that I read over the summer though don't take place in the summer. I think it was more about getting lost in a series and being able to read them one after the other! #MGBookChat
Q6: What are you favorite summer-published books? (And are they “summer” reads or not, and why?) #MGBookChat
@BookClubCrate @doucette515 @dianezahler @AGWishingrad @sunshineJHwitz It's an amazing book. A meaningful fairy tale if you don't know the poem, and a deep story with all the related elements if you do! #MGBookChat
@dianemagras @dianezahler @AGWishingrad @sunshineJHwitz Oh my word. I love that Rosetti poem. I am going to have to find this retelling!!! #MGBookChat
A6: For summer-pubbed books I love, @dianezahler's Goblin Market (a stunning retelling of a classic poem), @AGWishingrad's The Verdigris Pawn, and @sunshineJHwitz's The Demon Sword Asperides: all great character-rich, thought-provoking fantasies, perfect for summer! #MGBookChat
@RosanneParry @stoonlibrary 💯 and not only modeling but also having family read alouds or mini bookclubs with their kids one on one and meeting at a shop to have a drink and discuss. So many ways to engage your kids! #MGBookChat
@FTBradleyAuthor This statistic is so depressing! Especially as I sit here watching my husband read picture books with my 7mo. Please keep loving books, baby! #mgbookchat
@FTBradleyAuthor And sometimes educators give students time to read, but don't read themselves and while I understand that time is hard to come by, I think this is a lost opportunity to show kids how important reading is! #MGBookChat
@kassielamro @FTBradleyAuthor #MGBookChat We're at 10, 8, and 3 yo, and the love of reading is going strong. You're modeling that love of reading and putting all the important things in place.
A5 #MGBookChat: Make weekly library runs! I used to as a kid, and they're my best memory of time spent with my parents. Kids can choose whatever books they want, plus it's free... #library #summerreading #mglit
A4 While all the kids at camp were getting care packages with bubble gum I got a giant box of The Baby Sitter Club books and read them while my bunk mates were playing Spit and War. Parents inspire their readers by putting books in their hands! #mgbookchat
A5) Many of my first-of-the-year books talks are with new summer books that students might have missed. #MGBookChat
A5: Going to the library! And bookstores! Next summer I want to find fun ways to let my students know about new summer books and what I’m reading - maybe a summer newsletter to email to parents? #MGBookChat
Q5: So often, #kidlit authors with summer-published books struggle to reach young readers. How can kids learn about new books during the summer? #MGBookChat
A2: I'd like to say that season doesn't matter, but most summer-released books are set in the summer. Sometimes, though, publishers pick summer for scheduling rather than story. For instance, The Bellwoods Game by @CeliaKrampien, out tomorrow, is set on Halloween. #MGBookChat
A4. Libraries, libraries, libraries! Ours plans summertime activities and always has new recommendations. Going to the local library isn't just a fun and free way to fill a morning. It also might include free lunch, a craft, a reading, etc. (depending on resources) #MGBookChat
A4 #MGBookChat: It's so important for kids to see parents or guardians read. I often see adults push reading but forget to model that behavior. If kids see you read for fun, they'll want to as well... #amreading #mglit #summerreading
@dianemagras A4- modeling & access- adults should be seen reading too! & make sure kids have books (as a kid my family went upstate for the summer- my parents always took us to the library there to stock up. Plus to the discount book store on rainy days!- found this old pic!) #mgbookchat
A4: Modeling is a great way to enjoy your summer and showcase reading behaviors. All of us have our books over the summer, and we often exchange when we finish. That way we can discuss later. #mgbookchat
