Understand the science of reading with these books
KFPL supports the findings of the OHRC Right to Read inquiry, and evidence-based science of reading (SOR). We have a growing collection of decodable readers for kids, and SOR resource titles for adults.
“Structured Literacy, delivered effectively, equips teachers to teach reading and adequate writing to ALL their students. It is a no-fail approach.” - Lyn Stone
In addition to Lyn Stone's book, Reading for Life, we recommend the following SOR resource books for educators, parents, and caregivers.
Learn about and take action against climate change
Climate change, a long-term shift in weather conditions and variability, has significantly increased due to human influences since the Industrial Revolution. There are many efforts we can take, including picking up a book and learning more about climate change and how we can better care for our home.
More fantastic books like The BFG
In The BFG — both the movie and the Roald Dahl book — a little girl befriends a benevolent giant who takes her to Giant Country, where they attempt to stop the man-eating giants that are invading the human world. Check out these similar stories of adventure!
