Next Generation Indie Book Award Winner

My Hank the Tank Activity Book has just been named a finalist for the Next Generation Indie Book Awards in the category of Activity Books. The awards banquet will be June 28th in San Diego at the same time as the American Library Association (ALA) Conference. Speaking of ALA, if you happen to be attending, stop by the IBPA (Independent Book Publishers of America) Booth # 1837. The Hank the Tank Activity Book will be on display and so will the decodable book upon which it is based, Hank the Tank: Animal in the Spotlight.  Many other unique books by independent publishers will also be available. 

It's exciting that decodable books and the materials that support those resources are getting more and more attention from the larger book industry. If you'd like information about decodable books, see my web page entitled Choosing the Right Decodable Books for Your Students. I talk about what decodable books are and where to find them. For information about how to set up literacy hubs and acquire decodable books for your school or local library, visit Teach My Kid to Read. 

The Hank the Tank Activity Book (available at Amazon & Barnes and Noble) is based on Hank the Tank: Animal in the Spotlight, a decodable chapter book, available now in hardcover, paperback, audiobook, and e-book formats at  Amazon.  You can even read it for free on Kindle Unlimited if you have a membership. You may also find the hardcover and paperback versions at Barnes & Noble or you may order them from your favorite local bookstore. Read more about how to credit local bookstores with online purchases HERE. In addition, Many of the games from the Activity Book are available as digital Boom Cards. See the Hank the Tank Bundle. It includes 15 decks/games and several are FREE.
