They can be used to develop enthusiasm for reading and writing at home or in the classroom. Exercises linked to specific books help establish a purpose for reading, or can make the text of the book more relevant to the reader. Participating in an activity coordinated with a book increases a young reader\u2019s background knowledge about a book\u2019s topic, further engaging them and encouraging them to take a more active role in their own learning.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured page image is from an organizing project that recycles\u00a0cereal boxes to create a simple filing system for At-Home-Learners<strong>. <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryruthbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2020_04-Cereal-Box-Organizers.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/090278e7753b8c3f38ddf67c2\/files\/885524df-34b2-4727-b8b5-dce55c50442b\/2020_04_Cereal_Box_Organizers.pdf\">Download step-by-step instructions.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Independent Reading for the At-Home Learner<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/choiceliteracy.com\/contributor\/the-sisters-gail-boushey-and-joan-moser\/\">Gail Boushey<\/a>, well-know literacy author and educator, has\u00a0created a resource for parents, teachers, and students \u00a0to encourage and support at-home learning.\u00a0Throughout the videos, Gail provides <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailycafe.com\/content\/reading-home-students\">instruction and models independent reading<\/a> for students using three titles from MaryRuth Books:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryruthbooks.com\/product\/porter-the-therapy-dog\/\">Porter the Therapy Dog<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryruthbooks.com\/product\/all-my-friends\/\">All My Friends<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryruthbooks.com\/product\/danny-and-normans-favorite-knock-knock-jokes\/\">Danny and Norman\u2019s Favorite Knock Knock Jokes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Classroom activities that coordinate with specific MRB titles:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Comprehension and Writing<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>After reading <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryruthbooks.com\/product\/hold-still-danny\/\">Hold Still, Danny!<\/a>,<\/strong> download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryruthbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/A-Poem-for-Little-Dog.pdf\">Poem for Little Dog<\/a> and complete the comprehension and writing exercise based on what is happening in the poem.<\/li>\n<li>After students have read one or all of the titles in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryruthbooks.com\/product\/danny-and-grandma-ruth-books\/\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.maryruthbooks.com\/product\/danny-and-grandma-ruth-books\/\">Danny and Grandma Ruth\u00a0set<\/a>, download the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryruthbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2019_11-Grandma-Ruth-Peek-a-Boo.pdf\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.maryruthbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/2019_11-Grandma-Ruth-Peek-a-Boo.pdf\">Grandma Ruth glasses<\/a>\u00a0activity sheet for a fun comprehension exercise.
