This channel was created by Mary Ellen Ariotti, a certified Kindergarten teacher in Florida with endorsements in Reading and ESOL. She made this channel after virtual learning was mandated by COVID-19 outbreaks. She wanted students to have access to books while schools / libraries were closed over the summer, or during the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. Most videos include questions and pauses on topics such as Vocabulary, Character, Setting, Events, Sequencing, Problem / Solution, Character Feelings, Similarities and Differences among books by the same author, or Early Reading Strategies. Sight Words are focused upon in Shared Reading/ Word Work videos, with models students can use to visualize word building skills. She has a playlist of books for Word Work, Back to School or getting ready for kindergarten for Pre-K viewers, and Author Studies.
