In the latest episode of Blessing the Book: Nurturing Readers through Stories, Sharon Callen explores how thoughtfully selected children's books can transform classrooms and create meaningful connections with young readers. Sharon introduces her concept of “blessing” books—honouring the stories and voices of the authors while guiding students through rich discussions that build empathy, spark imagination, and deepen their understanding of the world around them.The episode highlights a variety of titles that range from heartfelt explorations of family and grief to exciting tales of adventure and mystery. Each book offers unique classroom connections that encourage students to think critically and creatively. Whether it's The Letterbox Tree, a tale of environmental resilience, or The Impossible Secret of Lillian Velvet, which dives into magic and time travel, Sharon shows how these stories open up new avenues for students to reflect on their own experiences and the world at large.Sharon's approach emphasises the power of the read-aloud experience, where teachers can bring books to life simply by sharing them with students. Whether it's a novel in verse or an adventurous historical fiction, these moments of shared reading allow for deeper exploration of emotions, themes, and the beauty of storytelling.The episode reinforces how, through books, teachers can foster empathy and curiosity, transforming both their students and classrooms in profound ways. It is a celebration of the magic of literature and its power to nurture readers who think critically, connect deeply, and engage joyfully with the written word.RESOURCESBooks:The Letterbox Tree by Rebecca Lim and Kate GordonJane Doe and the Quill of All Tales by Jeremy LachlanDusty in the Outwilds by Rhiannon WilliamsMeet Me at the Moon Tree by Shivaun PlozzaThe Impossible Secret of Lillian Velvet by Jaclyn Moriarty (Author), Kelly Canby (Illustrator)The Bookseller's Apprentice by Amelia MellorSilver Linings by Katrina NannestadWaiting for the Storks by Katrina NannestadMy Brother Ben by Peter CarnavasWhat Snail Knows by Kathryn ApelHow to Spell Catastrophe by Fiona WoodSunshine on Vinegar Street by Karen ComerPodcast:Read Aloud: Mem Fox on Capturing hearts and Minds through LiteratureJOIN TEACHIFIC NOW AND SAVE!Join Teachific  today.

Thể loại:  Hài, Hoạt Hình “Wish” là bộ phim hoạt hình kỷ niệm 100 năm thành lập của Walt Disney Studios (sự kiện toàn cầu D100). "Điều Ước" lấy bối cảnh tại một vương quốc diệu kỳ tên Rosas. Ở đây, Asha - một cô gái thông minh và mơ mộng đã ước một điều ước quá sức mạnh mẽ, đến nỗi một thế lực ngoài vũ trụ với sức mạnh vô hạn tên Star đã đáp lại cô. Asha và Star cùng nhau đối mặt với người cầm quyền của Rosas - quốc vương Magnifico, để cứu lấy mọi người và chứng minh rằng ý chí gan dạ của con người kết hợp với phép màu của những vì sao sẽ giúp những điều kỳ diệu xảy ra. CÔ GIÁO EM LÀ SỐ 1 T16 Đạo diễn:  Park Jin-pyo Diễn viên:  Shin Hae-sun, Lee Jun-young, Cha Chung-hwa,... Thể loại:  Hài, Hành Động Si-min (do Shin Hae-sun thủ vai) là một võ sĩ quyền anh đầy triển vọng nhưng đã từ bỏ quyền thi đấu tại kỳ Thế vận hội Olympic để lấy tiền trả nợ cho cha. Từ đó, Si-min cũng nhận ra rằng, cuộc sống vốn không công bằng và “công lý không thể mài ra cơm”. Si-min gạt phăng giấc mơ trở thành võ sĩ quyền anh và quyết tâm trở thành giáo viên, với mong muốn về một cuộc sống ổn định hơn. Cô trở thành giáo viên hợp đồng của một trường trung học có tiếng cùng mục tiêu trở thành giáo viên chính thức ở đây. Để có thể nhanh chóng hoàn thành nguyện vọng, cô đã nỗ lực kìm nén cái tôi xuống đáy, luôn mỉm cười cho qua, bất chấp mọi tình huống trớ trêu xảy đến với mình. Tuy nhiên, Su-gang (do Lee Jun-young thủ vai) - kẻ cầm đầu của một băng đảng quậy phá, chuyên đi bắt nạt và hành hạ người yếu thế đã phá vỡ quy tắc của Si-min. Không thể chịu đựng được những hành vi bạo lực học đường của Su-gang, Si-min đeo lên một chiếc mặt nạ mèo và dạy cho tên côn đồ một bài học đáng nhớ. Nhận thấy quyền lực của mình bị đe dọa, Su-gang điên cuồng tìm kiếm người đeo mặt nạ mèo, Si-min đứng trước nguy cơ bị bại lộ danh tính và phải đối mặt với sự lựa chọn giữa “CÔNG LÝ hay CÔNG VIỆC.” CẦU HỒN T16 Đạo diễn:  Lester Hsi Diễn viên:  Ning Chang, J.C Lin, Summer Meng Thể loại:  Kinh Dị Cầu Hồn bắt đầu trong bối cảnh kỳ lạ của những câu chuyện siêu nhiên được lưu hành trong trường. Các địa điểm chính của trường bao gồm thư viện, phòng tập nhảy và thang máy đều toát lên sự kinh dị về những điềm báo đen tối sẽ diễn ra. Điểm đặc biệt của phim là cách lồng ghép khéo léo 3 nghi thức tâm linh vào 1 trò chơi thực tế ảo: Trò chơi 4 góc; Trò chơi trốn tìm 1 người; và Trò chơi thang máy. Bộ phim là sự trỗi dậy của TRUYỀN THUYẾT KINH HOÀNG CÂY CẦU MA NỮ TẠI ĐÀI LOAN.

Tuy nhiên, vào đêm trước khi cô bước sang tuổi 21 một giấc mơ đã đưa cô quay trở lại quá khứ, nơi cô và hai chàng trai khác có liên quan đến cái chết của một người bạn thời thơ ấu. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kim-thanh-duong/support

This week, #PopVultures host Jan Lee runs down note-worthy entertainment news for listeners. In local news, Mediacorp actress Rebecca Lim gets engaged to her mystery fiance. She announced the happy news on her Instagram and while she received congratulations and blessings from celebrities and fans alike, fellow actor Ian Fang did not seem as thrilled. Fang and Lim were linked for years but Fang and fellow Mediacorp actress Carrie Wong were caught exchanging sexually suggestive messages to each other in 2019. Meanwhile in Hollywood, pop star Britney Spears is finally freed from her conservatorship after 13 years. She was previously placed under the conservatorship, which stripped her of her ability to make financial, medical and other personal decisions for herself, in 2008 after she suffered a highly publicised mental breakdown. Jan discusses how there's still more to the case, including Spears' allegations that her father, who was in charge of her conservatorship for years, exploited and surveilled her. Finally, Jan goes into Taylor Swift's re-recording and releasing Red - an album first released in 2012. Swift added previously unpublished songs into the re-recorded album, including an extended ten-minute version of one of the album's most popular songs All Too Well. This album has reignited interest in Swift's brief relationship with actor Jake Gyllenhaal. Many of the album's breakup songs are said to be about Gyllenhaal. Jan also provides a primer on why Swift is re-recording her own music.  Here's what she talked about: Rebecca Lim's engagement and how Ian Fang's response has shifted the focus away from her happy news (0:49) Britney is finally free and how the conservatorship system is ripe for abuse (12:15) Taylor Swift's re-recording and releasing her album Red (19:05) Produced by Jan Lee (janlee@sph.com.sg) and Penelope Lee Edited by: Penelope Lee & Hadyu Rahim Subscribe to #PopVultures Podcast series and rate us on your favourite audio apps: Channel: https://str.sg/JWad Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWaA Google Podcasts: https://str.sg/Ju47  Spotify: https://str.sg/JWaP  Website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg Follow Jan Lee on Instagram: https://str.sg/Jbxc Read Jan Lee's stories: https://str.sg/Jbxp --- Discover more ST podcast series: Asian Insider Podcast: https://str.sg/JWa7 Green Pulse Podcast: https://str.sg/JWaf Health Check Podcast: https://str.sg/JWaN ST Sports Talk Podcast: https://str.sg/JWRE Life Weekend Picks Podcast: https://str.sg/JWa2 #PopVultures Podcast: https://str.sg/JWad Bookmark This!

Rebecca Lim is the author of more than twenty books. Her works including The Astrologer's Daughter and the Mercy series and she’s been listed for the PM’s literary awards, the Indies and Aurealis awards. An important aspect of her writing career that I want to highlight; Rebecca is a co-founder of Voices from the Intersection.Voices from the Intersection is an initiative working to support emerging YA and children’s authors and illustrators who are First Nations, People of Colour, LGBTIQA+ or living with disability.Maybe you’ve heard of Own Voices writing? It’s where authors from communities write about their experiences (rather than say dominant culture authors writing those experiences). It’s a really important part of our literary landscape because it means we are getting reflections of our whole community, including those people whose voices are often marginalised or not heard.In that sense Tiger Daughter is an own voices narrative as Rebecca explores the experience of being a child of migrants and trying to balance culture and expectations from two worlds...Wen and Henry are friends; they are drawn together as the children of migrants as well as by shared dreams of escaping their suburban school and the multiple daily acts of casual racism they face.Wen loves to read and draw but her father sees these are frivolous pursuits. In his world Wen must be her best, she must achieve even as he undercuts her confidence that she will ever be good enough.Henry excels in all his subjects except English. And so Wen is his confidant and his tutor. Together they dream of sitting the selective schools exam and escaping to a high school that will nurture their talents and offer them something beyond a world that constantly tells them what they are not.Tiger Daughter is a vignette - only a small chapter in the lives of Wen and Henry (and in fact I was left wanting more as these characters very quickly become so compellingly real) But it’s a chapter of enormous significance. We see the reverberations, over a week, of a cataclysmic personal tragedy and the ways Wen and Henry must challenge the status quo of their worlds.The novel has expansive scope; taking in culture and cultural divides within migrant homes, as well as exploring mental health and the ways personal pressures reverberate out into the world.Even as the themes of the novel seem to encompass some of the larger debates we are concerned with as Australians the story itself is restrained in time and space.Wen walks to and from her school, the shops and home; a tight circle that seemingly can barely expand enough for Henry’s house or a local party. Wen’s dreams are juxtaposed with the disappointment of her father, who has failed his medical specialist exam. As his world contracts, Wen is casting her eyes out on the wider world she seeks to occupy.The world is shown as simultaneously threatening and promising. As the titular Tiger Daughter Wen must uncover, or perhaps nurture the strength she will require if she wants the life she dreams of.

Today on Middle Grade Mavens, Julie chats with Rebecca Lim, about her new release, "Tiger Daughter," on February 2, by Allen and Unwin. And Pamela Chat's to Katrina Nannestad, about her recently released, "We Are Wolves,' on October 2020. About Rebecca's book: Tiger Daughter Wen Zhou is determined to create a future for herself that is more satisfying than the life her parents expect her to lead. Equal parts heartbreaking and hopeful, Tiger Daughter is a wonderfully compelling and authentic Own Voices novel about growing up Asian in Australia. What I feel most days is that nothing is ever going to change. That my life won't even start, and that I'll be stuck like this forever. Wen Zhou is the daughter and only child of Chinese immigrants whose move to the lucky country has proven to be not so lucky. Wen and her friend, Henry Xiao - whose mum and dad are also struggling immigrants - both dream of escape from their unhappy circumstances, and form a plan to sit an entrance exam to a selective high school far from home. But when tragedy strikes, it will take all of Wen's resilience and resourcefulness to get herself and Henry through the storm that follows. ISBN: 9781760877644 Publisher: Allen and Unwin  Publication Date: February 2021 Page Extent: 224 Format: Paperback - B format Age: 11 - 14 Author Interview: Katrina Nannestad About Katrina's book: We Are Wolves Sometimes it's good to be wild. When the Russian Army marches into East Prussia at the end of the war, the Wolf family must flee. Liesl, Otto and their baby sister Mia find themselves lost and alone, in a blizzard, in the middle of a war zone. Liesl has promised Mama that she will keep her brother and sister safe. But sometimes, to survive, you have to do bad things. Dangerous things. Wild things. Sometimes to survive, you must become a wolf. Bestselling author Katrina Nannestad returns with her most masterful novel yet - a book to crack open your heart, a book to light you up inside, a book to love.
