In this house we celebrate diversity every chance we get! We love our Black Girl, Brown Girl books because they not only represent our Salvadoran culture, but because we also get to celebrate African American culture through the books we read. This helps us reflect the diversity of the people we love inside our home every day!

Best friends since first grade and still going strong! Love each other so much, we wrote a children’s book about our friendship. ❤️
Because Pasadena is not LA!
Order your copy of Our Los Angeles/ Nuestro Los Ángeles and take a tour with Crystal and Liset through South Central Los Angeles as they share some of their favorite places, with an honorable mention of Randy’s Donuts in Inglewood 😉
Fun Fact:
Los Angeles, or LA, is one of the most well-known cities in the world. But why is Los Angeles so famous? Hollywood stars, the TV & movie industries, and gorgeous beaches all make LA a famous city and a popular vacation spot.

✨Happy Teacher Appreciation Week✨When your staff members use your book for our Dialogic Reading Professional Development, facilitated by the fabulous @Ravi Kline In dialogic reading, the adult helps the child become the teller of the story. The adult becomes the listener, the questioner, and the audience for the child.No one can learn to read just by listening to someone else read. Children learn most from books when they are actively involved. Children who have been read to dialogically are substantially ahead of children who have been read to traditionally on tests of language development. Children can jump ahead by several months in just a few weeks of dialogic reading.Order your copy of Our Los Angeles today and let the love of reading grow! 👧🏾👧🏽📚Link in bio.

We must encourage the love of reading at a young age for children. We do this by making reaching fun and using creative ways of scaffolding learners to access complex text.
Tips 💡 Consideration for Scaffolding Complex Text:
- background knowledge and building of vocabulary.
- Complexity of Ideas- Comprehension Skills and Strategies.
- Text structure and language/grammatical structures to support meaning.
- Most importantly REPRESENTATION MATTERS!
Let's make reading fun!
