I loved having the opportunity to find new and different picture books. I discovered some new authors and had time to plan some great lessons that I will definitely be using in my classroom this year. Reading the Read Aloud Handbook gave me the chance to look closely at the research behind reading aloud to children and gave me validation for many of my practices in the classroom and as a parent.

I genuinely really enjoyed this course because it gave me the chance to be creative and design engaging lessons that I’m actually excited to use in my classroom. It helped reignite my passion for creating meaningful, thoughtful activities that align with the content I’m already teaching. While a few of the assignments felt a bit repetitive at times, I’m ultimately really glad I completed them because now I have a set of ready-to-use plans that fit right into my existing units. The lessons I created will serve as great enrichment opportunities for both advanced readers and those who may need more support. I love that picture books can be so versatile and accessible for all learners, and this course really helped me see their full potential.

This course is an excellent and well-thought-out offering which changed the direction of how I teach reading, and also has improved the way I lesson plan. I now have clear goals/objectives from which to approach my curriculum. This course taught me so many new strategies of how to engage my students during read-aloud time and after trying it out, it was a big success! Thank you Professor Warmerdam for showing me new ways to reach and engage my students!

Valuable course for everyone who teaches children. I found the online portion rather awkward and confusing. After reading the syllabus thoroughly, it wasn't until I went into the "Grades" tab that I fully understood what was required for this class.

This course was absolutely amazing! Tara's almost immediate feedback is so motivating and helpful. The content of this course is perfect for teachers at any level. I truly learned so much more about the power of using picture books as well as so many wonderful strategies to make it interesting for my students. The resources that I am now lucky enough to have after taking this course will most definitely benefit my students and me too! I also learned some new and creative ways to involve my students' parents a little more.

Picture Book Power is a wonderful course that is incredibly helpful for teaching students how to read most effectively. The reading strategies and lessons gave me a great foundation to reach my students. I most enjoyed reading the course text of The Read-Aloud Handbook. It was super helpful! The instructor for this course is quite knowledgeable and provides a strong foundation for this class.
