Reading to kids is wonderful and everything, but reading to kids from space is super awesome

If you need to mix up your bedtime story routine a little bit, the Global Space Education Foundation has just the thing for you: Story Time in Space. It's exactly what it sounds like - astronauts on various missions in space read popular children's books while floating about, and the videos are edited and shared with kids way down on Earth.

The results are adorable as well as educational and inspiring. Check out astronaut Kathleen Rubins reading Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty and try not to get choked up at how amazing this all is.

The concept was developed by Patricia Tribe, the former director of education at Space Center Houston, and Alvin Drew, the first NASA astronaut to read a story in space for the program, during the final mission of the space shuttle Discovery. The pair were looking to find a way to encourage reading among kids while also promoting STEM education, and landed on the idea of having on-duty astronauts reading science-based kids' books, gravity-free.

Since the initial reading, all of the story times have taken place on the International Space Station, as it hurtles through nothingness at 17,500 miles per hour around the planet. It's only a guess, but this may be slightly more interesting than your kids listening to you feign excitement while reading The Mitten again.

"What better role models to engage kids in science and to engage them in reading?" Tribe told the Huffington Post. "You're not only looking and listening to the books, you're looking around the International Space Station."

Not only are does Story Time in Space aim to make reading out of this world, it also stresses the importance of diversity. Tribe and her team select books for a wide range of reading levels (though all can be read in 15 minutes or less) and from a wide range of STEM topics, from physics to engineering to biology. The group also selects a diverse set of astronauts to read the books, so that kids can see that people who look just like them can reach for the next frontier. For example, Japanese engineer and JAXA astronaut Koichi Wakata read Max Goes to the International Space Station in Japanese for the program this summer.

The Story Time from Space program is also expanding. The group is working on adding a set of nine simple science experiments for kids that were conducted from the space station, involving concepts like energy transfer and surface tension. In addition, more books are on the way, including A Moon of My Own by Jennifer Rustgi, The Rhino Who Swallowed A Storm by LeVar Burton and Susan Schaefer Bernardo, and Moustronaut by Astronaut Mark Kelly.

While those projects are being completed, Earthlings can enjoy the rest of the collection, which includes Max Goes to Mars, by Jeffrey Bennet, as read by astronaut Mike Hopkins.

Let's just hope that these awesome videos don't ruin regular books read in gravity, from the ground, by plain old mom who probably isn't even an astronaut.

Chicken Little

A modern adaptation of the classic tale: What happens when a completely normal chicken believes everything he reads on the internet? This story is written in the present tense, because it's a good thing to learn.

The Bird and the Whale

Our first ever original story, about a bird and a whale and their shared love of little fish. Inspired by a song by Tom Waits, and an episode of Adventure Time.

The Three Little Pigs

The classic tale of shoddy building materials, DIY folly, and the perils of emparedados de tocino (a.k.a bacon sandwiches). No pigs or wolves were harmed in the making of this story.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Why you should probably lock your door when you go out for a walk, even if you live en medio de un gran bosque. Why are the three bowls of sopa different temperatures when they were poured at the same time? Science, is why.

Little Red Riding Hood

A deeply troubling investigation into what happens when you let your children walk somewhere alone: Caperucita Roja eats fresas, picks margaritas and talks to el Gran Lobo Feroz on the way to Grandma's house. (Warning: Contains highly improbable medical scenes.)

Looking for ways to keep your comics-loving kids and teens occupied? These free webcomics promise to eat up hours of time.

Middle Grade

Audrey's Magic Nine
Written by Michelle Wright and illustrated by Courtney Huddleston, Francesco Gerbino, and Tracy Bailey, this webcomic, now a series of graphic novels published by Farthing Press, centers on a black orphan adopted by a well-meaning but clueless suburban white couple.

Breaking Cat News
House cats Elvis, Puck, and Lupin report on such breaking news stories as "The people are missing!" and "There's a box with a towel inside it on the kitchen table." Georgia Dunn's hilarious webcomic, with its feline's-eye view of the world, is also being published by Andrews McMeel as a series of graphic novels.

Cucumber Quest
In GiGi D.G.'s video game-esque tale, adorable Cucumber the bunny and his sister Almond go up against a series of baddies. A vibrant palette, nonstop action, and a bizarre cast of friends and foes make for immersive reading. Also available as a series of graphic novels published by First Second.

Homestuck
Andrew Hussie's wildly popular webcomic follows John Egbert, who on his 13th birthday plays a video game that unleashes the apocalypse. Available in print from Viz Media.

Ozy and Millie
Two anthropomorphic foxes navigate the world in this sweetly snarky webcomic, now a graphic novel published by Andrews McMeel, by Dana Simpson, creator of the best-selling "Phoebe and Her Unicorn" series. Enjoy the archive, or check out reruns on GoComics!

Scared by the Bell
Though being the new kid is never easy, it's especially hard for Peter, an average kid whose classmates include a mummy, a pumpkinhead, and a skeleton. Creator Dylan Campbell updates this hilariously creepy webcomic every week.

Wormworld Saga
Still reeling from the loss of his mother, Jonas escapes into his vivid daydreams. After making his way through a portal in his grandmother's strange painting, he finds himself lost in a fantasy world, unable to return. Daniel Lieske's arresting comic series has also been published in print format by Lion Forge.

YA

As Per Usual
Dami Lee's self-deprecating webcomic details her quest "to be a real lady person," from dating woes to FOMO in the age of social distancing. The graphic novelBe Everything at Once, available from Chronicle, collects many of the entries in her webcomic.

As the Crow Flies
Two outsiders endure microaggressions on a Christian backpacking trip and find solace in each other. Melanie Gillman's contemplative, poignant webcomic was published as a graphic novel by Iron Circus Comics and won a Stonewall Honor in 2018.

Bird and Moon-Science and Nature Comics
Whether naturalist and science writer Rosemary Mosco is describing how to distinguish a dolphin from a porpoise, offering improvements on bird species (like hummingbirds that are 10,000% bigger), or urging readers to join the fight against climate change, her abiding passion for the natural world comes through loud and clear in this delightfully quirky webcomic. Available from Andrew McMeels asBirding Is My Favorite Video Game: Cartoons About the Natural World from Bird and Moon.

Check, Please!
When a happy-go-lucky former figure skater joins his college hockey team, hilarity ensues, but so do lasting friendships and even a burgeoning romance between protagonist Bitty and team captain Jack. Ngozi Ukazu's webcomic has garnered a loyal fan base, and the graphic novels, published by First Second, are just as popular.

Cheshire Crossing
What became of Alice, Wendy Darling, and Dorothy Gale after they returned from Wonderland, Neverland, and Oz? Though few believed their stories, the three girls meet and find kinship in one another. Andy Weir and Sarah Andersen's enchanting webcomic-turned-graphic novel (published by Ten Speed) will inspire readers to write their own fan fiction.

DeadEndia
Hamish Steele's webcomic, now a print series published by Nobrow, centers on an amusement haunted house with a mysterious portal that entices demons, ghosts, and angels.

Deep Dark Fears
Fran Krause creates mordantly funny yet tender comics based on emails submitted by readers detailing the absurd but deeply resonant fears that plague them (What if, while walking over me in bed, my cat steps on both my eyes? What if, when I take off my goggles, the suction yanks out my eyes?). Two graphic novels, Deep Dark Fears and , based on the webcomic have been published by Ten Speed.

(H)afrocentric
Now a graphic novel series published by PM Press, this raw, deeply funny, provocative webcomic from Juliana "Jewels" Smith, Ronald Nelson, and Mike Hampton follows a black revolutionary college freshman and her friends dealing with racism, gentrification, and privilege at Ronald Reagan University.

Heartstopper
Since 2016, Alice Oseman has been chronicling the burgeoning romance between Nick and Charlie, two secondary characters from her prose novel Solitaire. Her sweet, manga-flavored tale will be published in graphic novel format by Scholastic next month.

On a Sunbeam
Tillie Walden's mesmerizing, strikingly original space epic seamlessly blends romance and sci-fi. In graphic novel format, published by First Second, On a Sunbeam has racked up accolades, making its way onto numerous best books lists and being named a YALSA Top Ten Great Graphic Novel.

Space Boy
To make the long trip back home to Earth from a mining colony deep in outer space, Amy and her family must be cryogenically frozen, and when Amy returns, her friends are far older, and she's not sure where she fits in. With fluid linework and a pitch-perfect palette, this tender webcomic from Stephen McCranie, now published by Dark Horse as a graphic novel series, is ideal for sci-fi readers and newcomers to the genre alike.

Ariel Slamer Ries's webcomic, now published in graphic novel format by Lion Forge, takes place in the magical world of Hyalin, where witches' magic depends on the length of their hair. But revealing one's power can be perilous.

"I work in [a school] for the Deaf and Blind so our population requires accessibility that the general population does not.

The accessibility options included with each book on your website far exceeds my expectations for meeting the needs of our students.

Both Tumblebooks and TeenBookCloud are welcome additions to our library."
Debora Lillard
Arizona Schools for the Deaf and Blind

"We are using and loving Tumblebooks and TeenBookCloud more than ever. We are 1:1 in grades 6-12, and have many, many devices at the elementary level. Students are using it for their free reading, class novels and we really love the audiobooks, especially for our students who need some assistive help with reading.

Products continue to work well with all our devices and our network, keep up the great work and adding more content."

Connie Deutsch
Fargo Public Schools

"I love TeenBookCloud. It is such an amazing site that offers unlimited access to several classic readings like "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "Romeo & Juliet." The enhanced eBooks are one of the best features. To have the text highlighted as read is a necessity for our struggling readers. We are 1:1 with Chromebooks and TeenBookCloud works great on them. It is a great value for the price."
Emily Dittmar
Muskego High School

"We LOVE TeenBookCloud at our school for use during the Listen to Reading component of Daily 5. The wide variety of books gives students the opportunity to select engaging good-fit books."
Jade VanDamme
Imperial School

"One of my favorite things is that you have included some of the classics like Pride and Prejudice, Romeo and Juliet, The Scarlet Letter and many others! With TumbleBooks we no longer have to purchase class sets of novels which get worn and then tossed!! Great way to get kids interested in reading again!!"

We are taking a trip back to the 1970s with today's activity! We will be making a "lava lamp" using science. It's it great when we can use science concepts and principles to make really neat things?!?!? Before we make our "lava lamp", we need to review the science concepts we'll be using today. The key concepts today are: density float sink hydrophobic

Mass and Volume. Science for Children- Primary & Intermediate (K-5)

Sink or Float Challenge: Fruit- Primary (K-2)

Density: Why does oil float on water?- Intermediate (3-5 (& above))

Now, we're almost ready for our experiment, but let's just take a quick look at salt, the key ingredient to today's "lava lamp".

Experiment Time: Let's make a "Lava Lamp"

Now it's time to apply the concepts you just reviewed! Materials: large glass/vase of water, food coloring, vegetable oil, salt (ice cream salt and coarse Kosher salt works well, but "regular" table salt works as well)

Cross Curricular Extension: Algebra- Grades 6++

As a former teacher, I understand the importance and "magic" of being able to combine concepts and skills to more than one academic area. Believe it or not, the fact that oil & water doesn't mix can be connected to basic algebra concepts 🙂 I found this fabulous resource by Professor Martin Weissman. It uses the concept of oil and water not mixing to explain and illustrate the concept of combining like terms in Algebra. It contains instruction, examples, and practice problems. Perfect for higher level middle school students and for high school. Click here to access this resource.

Listening Skills

Listening is the ability to process, interpret and extract information from spoken language. It is important for English language learners to comprehend social and academic language. Educators must involve students in purposeful activities to help students to develop active listening skills.

Speaking Skills

I provide questions and prompts prior to listening tasks to help students maintain focus. Initially, I model how to create such questions and prompts. Then, scaffold students to begin developing their own questions.

Speaking is a productive skill. Students eng age in oral communication in a variety of situations for an array of purposes and audiences. As part of oral communication, students are constantly using language in meaningful interaction with others. This occurs during classroom interactions when students have to listen and speak to carry on a conversation.

Newcomers may hesitate to engage in oral language at the earliest stages of language acquisition. Creating an accepting and nonthreatening environment is an important step in encouraging newcomers to attempt to speak the new language. Production of oral language should never be forced or rushed.

Social vs. Academic Language Acquisition

There are different timelines for learning social vs. academic language. Under ideal conditions, it takes the average second-language learner one-two years to acquire , or the content rich language of academics, takes Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS) also known as survival language. BICS involves the everyday language that occurs between conversational partners or in social settings. On the other hand, Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP )five to seven years under ideal conditions to develop to a level that of native speakers.

Websites to support Basic Verbal Communication Skills

These sites will help English Language Learners to learn and pronounce basic English words through audio and images.

Rosetta Stone

Duolingo

Learning Chocolate Vocabulary Learning Platform

Learning Chocolate ~Vocabulary Learning Platform

This English language vocabulary site has words and images organized into over 100 categories. Example categories include animals, body, birds, holiday, camping, phonic, days of the week, foods, and much more! Each word has audio and many of the review activities are based on hearing the word to complete the required work. An added benefit to the site is that it is easy to switch the target language from English to other languages: Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, German, and Spanish. Note: This site includes advertising.

Student Extension Project

After students explore this website independently or in small group, they create their own narrations of images (similar to this website) using another tech tool such as Thinklink.

ThingLink

ThingLink is an interactive image tool offering a unique way to link "things" within images. Teachers and students should register using the EDU version. There is a basic free versions and teachers get a huge discount for the premium version. Free Android and iOS apps are also available.

ThingLink for the Web allows users to embed interactive images into websites, videos and text with a click.

iOS App to Pratice English Vocabulary

Bitsboard App

Bitsboard is ideal for learning languages, mastering vocabulary, learning to read, learning to speak, practice spelling. It contains flashcards and a large variety of games. There is a free version and paid pro-version available on Apple store for IOS devices.

AudioBooks

"Hear no English, speak no English." It is no secret that listening practice is an important part of learning a language. Let's be honest, listening is a huge part of a students' school day. Hearing the same voices over and and over can be tedious. Teachers can incorporate some variety into our ESL listening activities. Audiobooks and music is an easy way to do this!

Check out this The Ultimate Guide to Using Audiobooks in Your ESL Class !

I encourage everyone to read this whole concise and beneficial article! Be sure to check out the audiobook links and ESL Audiobook Lesson Plan: A Typical Listening Exercise. Here is just a few highlights from the article:

"When you have a good piece of audio, your students will want to listen and follow along with the plot.

By hearing the proper pronunciation of words in an audiobook, students are able to better comprehend and retain the English language.

Often, students are given reading assignments to complete on their own, and it's difficult for them to grasp the pronunciation of words they might not know. But by listening and reading at the same time, students can improve their vocabulary and build confidence, which all help to build their English fluency.

Another important practice to implement when using audiobooks is to proceed slowly. Consider your students: Do they need to listen to a section two or three times? Should you repeat any portions of the audio? Be sure to stop often and check in with your students. It's important they can hear and comprehend the story."

Fun Tech Tools To Practice Speaking English

This list highlights website that have students recording their own voices in a number of different ways. Then they can share and perhaps post their speaking assignments online.
Voki

A Voki is a talking avatar students can design and easily post on a blog or website. Newcomer English Language learners may feel some anxiety with speaking the new language in front of their peers or teachers. The the online tool Voki could help with overcoming some of the language and confidence barriers. This website offers speaking capabilities by typing in (text-to-speech), phoning in, or recording a message the Voki avatar verbally recites. Voki avatars could be used in classroom presentations or introductions to help ESL students express themselves and gain a sense of confidence in their English-speaking abilities. Voki will help students practice listening skills as well. By typing in words or sentences and having the avatar narrate back, the ESL student can learn by hearing and repeating the language.

Voki - Leadership Project

Adobe Spark

Student Created Screencasts

A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration. The ability to create easy screencasts with audio is an excellent learning opportunity for English Language Learners. Teachers and students can create and narrate short tutorials, visual presentations, and lesson demonstrations! The lesson ideas are endless!

Student Example of Screencasting: After learning how to write sentences in English, beginner ELLs create their first voice-over narration using slideshow presentation and QuickTime Player. Then, they share the video with their classmates and parents by posting it on our ESL Class Blog.

iOS Apps to Practice Speaking English
**Last time I checked all of these apps had a FREE version!

Tell About This inspires students to record audio of their thoughts and stories through interesting photo prompts. Users can create custom prompts using the iPad's camera. Videos can be easily saved to iPad camera roll. ELLs can practice both receptive (listening) and productive (speaking) skills. Free version offers limited prompts. Worth the low cost!

Chatterbox : funny talking videos of photos
**Not to be confused with the social networking app!

Chatterbox is one of my students' favorite apps! This fun app iPhone or iPad can make anything image talk. Simply take any photo, draw a line to make a mouth, and record your voice. Short animated videos are created and are easy to share. Each voice recording has a limit of 30 seconds so students needed to be concise in what they say. Simply email or saving the video to your iPad camera roll which can then up uploaded to your Google Drive account. I've found that some Beginner ELLs prefer using the cartoon like voices instead of hearing their own voicing.

Chatterpix Kid app does essentially offer the same function.

Chatterbox iOS App ~ George Washington Carver

Toontastic 3D for Android and iOS free

Toontastic 3D is a great storytelling tool students can use to create and narrate their own cartoons. The app allows users to choose the characters and setting for each scene and animate their characters by moving them around with their fingertips. This easy to use tool walks students through the creative process with a plot/story arc template and explains the basic story outline (setup, conflict, challenge, climax, and resolution).

Interactive Whiteboard apps

Interactive Whiteboard apps

This Interactive whiteboard app allows teachers and students of any age to create video presentations called 'ShowMe's that can be shared via the device on online privately or to a community audience. The user can record and create engaging voice over presentations of their chosen topic by using some of the many tools such as adding text, drawings, photos and images.

Touchcast

TouchCast is a user-friendly broadcasting tool to create interactive videos to a nnotate, explain and present. Add webpages, files, images, videos... nearly anything! Then record and share across the web. This free video creation app gives students the opportunity to present and share their knowledge in a manner they have already embraced outside school.

Teachers in nearly every subject area can have students create a video to complement or, in some cases, replace a research paper or other project. For example, students in social studies may use the breaking news template to create a newscast about a current event or an important event in history. In language arts, students may create videos to summarize what's going on in a book, modernize scenes, or give book reviews. Science and math teachers may have students use the how-to template to describe important skills and concepts, or use some of the news headlines to present real-world examples of what they're learning in class. Teachers can also use TouchCast to create flipped lessons, allowing students to engage with dynamic, teacher-prepared instructional videos at-home and come to school ready to discuss and work on projects.

What do educators think about NoRedInk?

NoRedInk has completely transformed the way I teach grammar and writing in my class. Students start each concept at their own level and learn at their own pace, and because of this type of delivery, my students not only learn grammar, they master it.
