We can't get enough of what a cool idea this is by the Alhambra Library! Giving kids even more ways to easily access books is always a win-win 👏 https://lnkd.in/gQfVxXZM

To celebrate #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we're highlighting the beautiful and award-winning children’s book "Fry Bread" by Kevin Noble Maillard (@noblemaillard) and illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal (@juanamartinezn). This heartwarming story explores the cultural significance of fry bread in Native American communities, blending history, tradition, and family in every page. Let’s honor the indigenous voices worldwide and their stories that help shape our understanding of community and heritage. 🌿📖✨ #J3FoundationLA #NativeAmericanHeritage #RepresentationMatters #indigenouspride #indigenous #indigenouspeople #natives #nativepeople #childrensbook #kidsbooks #picturebook #literacy #literacyforall

Did you know that a child who reads just 20 minutes a day will read 1.8 million words by sixth grade? 😲 By contrast, a child who reads only 5 minutes a day will reach just 282,000 words. That's a huge difference in their vocabulary, comprehension, and academic success! At J3, we’re inspiring young readers through our Cozy Reading Club—making it fun and easy for students to read more every day. Help us encourage more kids to build this powerful habit and open doors to a brighter future! 🌟 Share your favorite reading tip below or donate to support our literacy program by clicking our link here: https://lnkd.in/gkj8McNp Together, we can make a lasting impact! #J3FoundationLA #ReadMore #CozyReadingProgram #EmpowerThroughBooks #20MinutesADay #ReadingMatters #LiteracyForAll #CozyReading #books #kidsbooks #childrensbooks #literacy #nonprofit #philanthropy #education

🌟✨ This week, our J3 Cozy Reading Club students read "Sound of Silence" by @katrinagoldsaito and @juliaskuo! 📚🎶 This story beautifully explores the subject of "ma", the silence between sounds and how we can find it in our own lives. To apply the book's message, we had our students take a deep breath and listen to the sounds around them, asking them if they notices the silence and other sounds they heard! Engaging with them on a practical level helps them to think critically about the books they read. Have you picked it up this book yet? Let us know your thoughts! #J3FoundationLA #books #kidsbooks #picturebooks #ma #literacyforall #SoundOfSilence #BookOfTheWeek #readingisfun #bookrecommendations #childrensbooks #japan #japaneseculture #silence #soundofsilence
