Why: I would like to recommend this book as it is easy to read which is suitable for  P1 and P2 level. On each page, Meddy the Teddy shows how to execute a pose for example tree pose, warrior pose and  more. Yoga and mindfulness have proven benefits for kids.

Hi guys! This was originally a book to teach Chinese children English. But I found it very useful for teaching my student with Autism proper social interactions as the content has everyday situations, and how children should react in those situations. There are also QR code to access sounds where native English speaker says the sentence out so there is proper pronunciation the student can refer to. ]]> 2020-08-28 06:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/tp3w2abbftjypymf/wish/704498497 Nur Shreen Binte Sidek https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/tp3w2abbftjypymf/wish/704498787 Book title: Quality Questioning 
Author: Jackie Acree Walsh & Beth Dankert Sattes
I would recommend this book as it guides us to ask you to quality questions. As an educator, questions are the most important tools in a teacher's toolbox.

Where can you source for the book? : Library or amazon

Why are you recommending this book? : My mother instilled a culture of reading in me from a very young age and she would take me to the library every week to borrow books. She got me to read this book which truly opened my eyes to what some people, even girls my age at that time are going through. It taught me alot about gratitude and perseverance. I shared this with a few of my students to read this and they were so engrossed with the book and finished it within a few days. 

The book I'm recommending is for leisure reading :)

Author: Dr Patricia Collard
Where to buy: Amazon

I got this book from my T&L school during one of our PD sessions. This book became one of my “quiet-time” read over a hot cup of coffee on the balcony sometimes. I am guilty of always being on the go and even being said to be a little “high-strung”. 

I like this book because it’s a quick and light read, yet remind you to stop, breathe and also count your daily blessings to remain calm and grounded. ]]> 2020-08-28 06:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/tp3w2abbftjypymf/wish/704506091 Ahmad Hakim https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/tp3w2abbftjypymf/wish/704507432 Title: Jurgen Klopp: The Biography

Author: Ellen Notbohm

This book was recommended to me by my mentor. I feel this book is an eye opener for myself in the world of a child with autism. The author of the book is a mother of 2 sons. Her first one is diagnosed with ADHD whereas her second one is a child with autism. I felt that as I embark on being an AED LBS, this is really a useful book to immerse myself in. It allows me to see the world in the perspective of a child with autism. It portrays a genuine experience of the real struggle of a mother and her child who is diagnosed with autism. This is a first hand experience coming from a mother. Through this book, her experiences and perspectives helps to educate people like us to be more aware and how we can understand a child with autism better. Especially so as an educator, how we can provide a more conducive & inclusive environment for the child.

Author: Nick Page
Where: Most books stores. I got mine from the greatest gift.
Why? It is a reading with phonic book for short “oo” sound. There are rhymes that are repeated which helps students hear the sounds and remember it. It is a different take on a classic. ]]> 2020-08-28 08:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/elizabeth_owyeong/tp3w2abbftjypymf/wish/704585862
