This Thursday, I'm excited to give two presentations at the Rise to the Challenge Conference, organized by the Alabama Branch of the International Dyslexia Association in conjunction with the Alabama chapter of the Academic Language Therapy Association. My morning presentation draws on a chapter from my book, Story Frames for Teaching Literacy: Enhancing Student Learning Through the Power of Storytelling. The focus of the presentation is on Using Narratives As a Bridge to Informational Text.
One of my favorite types of resources is Narrative Non-Fiction Picture Books. They are ideal for bridging the gap to informational text because they often overlap.
Later this month, I will explore a new book by one of my favorite authors, Beth Anderson, called The Patriot and the Pox: George Washington's Battle to Save the Continental Army. It was just released on September 29, 2026, perfectly timed with our nation's 250th anniversary. It would be a great book to use to introduce a Revolutionary War theme even for Middle School and High School students.
