McElhinney Blog

This part of my blog will be dedicated to book recommendations. If you have any books you would recommend for the class or for parents to read please send me an email with a little blurb about the book. This should be a great way to find some new reading material. The first recommendation I have is ironically about reading. “Reading Magic” is written by Mem Fox who is a well known children’s author with over 30 books in print. She has also written five nonfiction books for adults. “Reading Magic” stresses the importance of reading aloud to children and how this can impact their lives. As an educator I feel one of my responsibilities is to encourage a positive relationship between students and reading. Now as a new parent I also understand the importance and the impact reading with your child can have. If you are interested in reading this book just send me an email and I will send it home with your child.
