As part of this month’s newsletter, I share my guest post on LitLinks, the blog of Sibert Award author and environmentalist Patricia Newman. Her blog aims to ‘share the natural connection between STEM and language arts’ and serves as a valuable resource on many levels.
Educators, librarians, homeschoolers, and caregivers will find classroom activities that align with topics written by authors. Their authored book for young readers is central to these topics, so visitors to the blog also discover new books.
Pre-published and published authors will find ideas for connecting STEM and language arts topics and activities. They can use the blog as a mentor text of sorts to learn how to make their own connections in their school visits, visit descriptions, and conversations with their book-loving communities.
LitLinks is a treasure trove of free resources—perfect for keeping that dreaded summer slide at bay. Head on over and check out my post and activity. I’d love to hear how it works for you.
