https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r A collection of books for Alikai! Based on his very favorite things like animals, video games, and superheroes! These books are sure to be engaging and intriguing! 🦸🏽‍♂️🎮✨ en-us 2022-11-21 21:41:58 UTC 2026-02-01 06:59:36 UTC hello@padlet.com madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403748355 Alikai's very favorite video game is Fortnite. He was shocked to hear that I had heard of it before, but still explained it to me. He told me that he likes to play this on his phone as well as on a console with his brother. This book talks of beating the Fortnite characters in order for a boy to be able to relax and get his life back to normal. I believe that this would be a wonderful book for Alikai to read with his brother. ]]> 2022-11-30 15:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403748355 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403748989 I found a read aloud on a chapter from the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1GcHDpHM90 This book tells the story of a kid who hates video games, but ends of getting trapped in one and must find his way out. Although it is not related to a game like Among Us, Fortnite, or Minecraft, I think that this book will be engaging for Alikai as he will be able to create his own idea in his head of the video game, allowing him to use his imagination. ]]> 2022-11-30 15:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403748989 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403755933 This is a 6 part book collection that talks of various video game characters completing tasks and using problem solving skills. The books are comic style, which is something that I think Alikai would find very engaging, as he LOVES looking at illustrations. That combined with the chapter-book style pages, I could see Alikai really loving these books. ]]> 2022-11-30 15:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403755933 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403757004 Another game I had never heard of, Among Us, is something that Alikai loves to play on his phone. Among Us is a simple game, with little character development. However, this book provides an extra story that gives the characters a backstory and gives a new perspective for the game, one that I think would be very engaging for Alikai to read. ]]> 2022-11-30 15:40:34 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403757004 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403762402 Going off of the last book, this chapter book series has a similar concept. It talks of a boy that makes funny videos that begin to go viral. It talks of his new "fame" and how he is adapting to his new life. I think that this book would be incredibly interesting for Alikai to read, and one that I think he would like to imagine himself in. ]]> 2022-11-30 15:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403762402 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403768120 Alikai has many favorite video games, one of which is Minecraft. To be honest, I had never heard of this so he had enthusiastically explained it to me. I found this book and think it would be a perfect fit for Alikai. It is a chapter book that tells the story of a family getting stuck in the video game. Alikai has a close relationship with his family, so I think that this book would be incredibly engaging for him. ]]> 2022-11-30 15:46:48 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403768120 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403768972 Like I said previously, Alikai loves video games. I chose this book for him after reading that the plot is where a boy's entire class is online. He acts as his own "avatar", and the book takes you through his experiences in a video game classroom. This is a chapter book that I think Alikai would be interested by, as he claims that his favorite part of his school day is lunch and recess. ]]> 2022-11-30 15:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403768972 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403769051 Mr. Beast is one person that Alikai really likes to watch and talk about. Mr. Beast is a Youtuber, and something that Alikai has expressed interest in. This books walks you through what it is like to be a Youtuber, and hopefully something that Alikai could think of himself in that way, or think about someone he likes to watch like Mr. Beast. ]]> 2022-11-30 15:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403769051 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403771811 Alikai LOVES video games. HE frequently refers to the video games that he plays with his brother. This is a chapter book that would work great as a book to read with his older brother. The book's plot is centered around a normal brother-sister duo, that finds themself trapped in a video game. ]]> 2022-11-30 15:48:48 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403771811 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403777822 Fry Bread! One of my favorite books. I did my Concept of Print Assessment with this book with Alikai, and he immediately fell in love with the pictures. He loved describing them to me and making inferences about what was occurring in the illustrations. I had to include this book for him. ]]> 2022-11-30 15:52:37 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403777822 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403779197 Although written by a different author, this is illustrated by the same person. These illustrations are some that I think Alikai will love to look at and infer as he reads. It has a similar style to Fry Bread, one that is appealing to the eye and provides an added layer of visual appeal to the detail-centered text. ]]> 2022-11-30 15:53:27 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403779197 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403789681 Alikai told me of the time that he visted New York City, and had a wonderful time. He recalls Time Square, the M&M store, all of the people, etc. This book, originally from the 60's, is one that I think Alikai would love to look at. It has incredibly interesting pictures that will keep him engaged and reflective on his time in the city. ]]> 2022-11-30 15:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2403789681 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404013505 Very Similar to Superman, Alikai told me that Batman is one of his favorite movies. This book has the same author as Superman, I think that it would be really interesting to compare this book to one of the movies. Unfortunately, there are many movies so it might not be one that he has seen, but it will provide him with lots of background information on Batman's story. ]]> 2022-11-30 18:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404013505 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404016255 Another Magic Treehouse option (these books were my favorite when I was Alikai's age!), this book talks of Jack and Annie as they make their way through Africa. There are all kinds of animals like wildebeests, birds, and most notably... lions! While they are not Tigers or Cheetahs, I think that Alikai will find these big cats interesting. ]]> 2022-11-30 18:21:47 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404016255 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404018795 Alikai LOVES shark books! When him and I talked about Non-Fiction books, it was the first example he gave me on books that he likes to read. This book goes through different kinds of sharks and their anatomy, skills, etc. The book features many high quality pictures that have features to help Alikai improve his vocabulary and learn something new!]]> 2022-11-30 18:23:37 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404018795 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404020306 Following Iron Man, Alikai loves Superman. This book is the same style as the Walt Disney book with speech bubbles. The pictures and the speech bubbles would be really engaging for Alikai to read, and one that I think he would enjoy. This book tells the story of Superman and how he came to earth, as well as his power on Earth. ]]> 2022-11-30 18:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404020306 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404020649 Iron Man is Alikai's favorite super hero. This book provides the backstory of who Iron Man is, and teaches him about how he came to have super powers. I think that this would be really interesting for him to read and compare to the movie, which he has seen with his brother. ]]> 2022-11-30 18:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404020649 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404023898 Alikai loves cats! He has two, and there are two in this book! In the past, the kids I have worked with loved these books! They are comic-style, with speech bubbles and illustrations, which I know Alikai loves! ]]> 2022-11-30 18:27:12 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404023898 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404025679 Alikai has both dogs and cats, both he loves equally. I really love this book, as it is set up in the sense that there is paragraph reading as well as detailed photos and captions. It talks about big cats (which I know Alikai loves!), as well as wolves to teach about the ancestry. ]]> 2022-11-30 18:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404025679 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404028179 Alikai loves sharks, but I would love for him to learn more about the creatures that are below the surface! It is riddled with Tier 2 and Tier 3 vocabulary within the captions, so he can learn better from the pictures!]]> 2022-11-30 18:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404028179 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404030420 Alikai loves superheros, so this picture book is one that I think he would love. It talks of the bad days that super heroes os can have, and how they are just like us. This is one book that I think Alikai will love to read, as it would hopefully motivate him and remind him how the people he idolizes are just like him. ]]> 2022-11-30 18:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404030420 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404036126 Going off of the Magic Treehouse book, I think that these two books would work well together! This book has high quality pictures and captions to help Alikai learn what the animals are, what they eat, how they behave and more! ]]> 2022-11-30 18:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404036126 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404036654 After asking Alikai who has favorite author was, he exclaimed "Mickey Mouse!" I think that this book would be really interesting for him to learn about Walt Disney, and the story of Mickey Mouse. Alikai has been to Disney World once, so I believe that this would be really engaging for him. I think that the dialogue would provide a new skill for him to practice, there are speech bubbles! ]]> 2022-11-30 18:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404036654 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404038601 Harriet the Spy is a chapter book that takes place in New York City, a city that Alikai has visited and loved. It is a mystery book, where Harriet loses her notebook. However, the premise is about how important your words are, and making sure that you are being kind to your friends and family. ]]> 2022-11-30 18:37:58 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404038601 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404046957 Tigers are one of Alikai's favorite animals, and this book talks of Jack and Annie who find themselves stuck in India. The book talks about the threat to the Tigers, and the poachers in the area. I think that Alikai would find it to be incredibly engaging for him, and a wonderful opportunity for him to grow as a reader, it is a chapter book!]]> 2022-11-30 18:42:35 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2404046957 madico0205 https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2405182147 Alikai has two cats, both of which are very silly! This book talks of a meeting from the MEOW society, where cats from all over the country share their crazy stories. It is a chapter book with few illustrations among the pages. I think that this will be a good step for Alikai, as he can read a more chapter book style book, but also gets to see the illustrations he loves!]]> 2022-12-01 14:09:29 UTC https://padlet.com/madico0205/1ytsrhx3n3avi79r/wish/2405182147
