Happy Tuesday, everyone! I’m an elementary teacher librarian rediscovering #kidlitchat on Bluesky. It’s been a while, but I’m so excited to get back into it on here. It already fills my book talk bucket seeing old & new names!
TOPIC: Hey, everyone--it's been a good year for #kidlitchat here on Bluesky, and the community is growing! Let's push some tables together, grab a slice of pie, pull up a chair and introduce (or re-introduce) ourselves.

#BlueSkyTip Since BlueSky doesn’t use the sort of algorithms that X and Threads use, content is boosted by reposts, not by likes. If you enjoy something, sharing it is the best way to help others find it.

So glad I stumbled upon this new resource! Excuse me while I add these ideas to my plan to boost nonfiction circulation in our school library.
I'm excited to share this new library of resources for teaching nonfiction reading and writing.
