Check your public library...

Recently I was trying to get a copy of a book, Sally Gets A Job, that would align with a vocabulary set from one of my favorite apps, WWP-Vocabulary. The set featured good Tier-2 words such as skill, operate, career, successful, earn. Sally, dog hero of one of my favorite series, seemed a great match.

A quick search on Boston Public Library's website revealed that the book was right at my fingertips, free, via their connection to Hoopla, an electronic media service. Hoopla allows you to view books on a laptop or your iPad after signing in through your public library, if this service is offered to you locally.


So, this is just a suggestion to check out your library website's resources for picture book therapy materials. They may vary, of course (mine has connections to lots of picture and other books through Overdrive, but not Tumblebooks, which you may have), but probably offer you some great options of free materials!

Also, don't forget, EPIC! Books for Kids has scads of picture books, free for educators.

  1. Sally get a job is a brilliant prologue to vocations for kids. There are numerous prospects introduced here, even ones that kids probably won't consider immediately, for example, a scientist and an animal handler. The story is composed from the pooch's point of view including how she would clean dishes (with her tongue) which makes it progressively eccentric. Kids would likewise think that its entertaining seeing a pooch even consider attempting to do a portion of these human occupations.
