A Victory Over Japan Day reading list
September 2 is Victory Over Japan Day (VJ Day). Following the atomic devastation at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan announced its surrender on August 15, 1945, and signed the formal surrender document on September 2. VJ Day marks the official end of World War II, the most cataclysmic conflict in human history. Learn more about this pivotal event's era by exploring KFPL's related titles.
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.
