At six years old, Rebecca Elliott knew she wanted to write and illustrate books for kids. Today, she is doing exactly that with her hugely popular book series, Owl Diaries and Unicorn Diaries. This coming January marks the 10th anniversary of the Owl Diaries' debut, and in today's episode Rebecca joins guest-host Billy DiMichele to talk about the milestone, the success of her hugely popular books, and the animated Apple TV+ series Eva the Owlet, which recently announced its return for a second season and the release of a very special holiday episode. → Resources About Rebecca Elliot: Learn more about the author and her many books. About The Owl Diaries: In Rebecca's widely popular book series, Owl Diaries, readers follow the adventures of Eva Wingdale, a young owl who navigates school life, friendships, and various challenges in her town of Treetopolis. About Eva the Owlet: The Apple TV+ animated series based on the bestselling Owl Diaries book series, produced by Scholastic Entertainment. About the Unicorn Diaries: Rebecca's other entertaining book series follows the adventures of Bo Tinseltail, a young unicorn with the power to grant wishes, as he navigates life in Sparklegrove Forest.

She also speaks with authors Troy Cummings (The Notebook of Doom), Rebecca Elliott (Owl Diaries), and Jonathan Fenske (Crabby) about creating these engaging books for kids. → Highlights Rebecca Elliott, author, illustrator Owl Diaries “[It's] mind-blowing that [my books] could play the smallest role in a child's journey into books, which to me is one of the most important of journeys, as it's not only for entertainment, but it builds your worldview. It shapes your curiosity and knowledge.” “There's something about [owls] that's so elusive and imaginary even though they're clearly not. We can almost imagine that they have a secret world where they do wear berets and go to owl elementary school. And the fact that they are such great fodder to write about for children. They have big eyes, they can fly, they have super hearing, and super sight. They are incredible creatures and just so wonderful to wrap this story around.” “I was always drawing. Always, always, from as far back as I can remember. That's what I did with most of my time. And then I would make up stories about the drawings I [created].” “I think kids are just as interested in stories now, as they ever were. And that's never going away. It's a human need to want stories.” → Special Thanks Producers: Maxine Osa, Anne Sparkman, Allyson Barkan Sound Engineer: S. Shin Music Composer: Lucas Elliot Eberl → Coming Soon R.L.

If you haven't met Eva the Owlet, you're in for a treat. She's headed to Apple TV+ for her own animated series, which debuts on March 31. Eva is the adorable narrator of Owl Diaries, a New York Times bestselling book series by author and illustrator Rebecca Elliott. In this episode, Rebecca talks with host Suzanne McCabe about the runaway success of Owl Diaries and Eva the Owlet, the upcoming adaptation from Apple TV+. Rebecca will be participating in this year's World Read Aloud Day, which takes place on February 1. For the past 13 years, World Read Aloud Day has called attention to the importance of sharing stories by challenging participants to grab a book, find an audience, and read aloud. The global effort, created by the nonprofit Lit World and sponsored by Scholastic, is celebrated annually in more than 173 countries. This year, for the first time, there will be a live read-a-thon featuring Rebecca and several other favorite Scholastic authors, including Dav Pilkey and Brian Selznick. “Many studies have shown the educational benefits of children reading aloud,” Rebecca says. “But that's not the main reason you should read aloud. The main reason is it's fun, and it's about sharing stories. To be human is to want to share stories.” → Resources Rebecca Elliott: (https://www.rebeccaelliott.com/) Learn more about the best-selling author.

She's got a little brother and an older brother who can be a bit of a pain sometimes, and her parents. She goes to Treetop Owlementary School with her friends. She just gets up to lots of adventures.” “Owls obviously are all around us. In fact, I can hear owls most nights here. But you rarely ever see them, so you can almost imagine that owls have a secret world, where they do go to school, and they do speak to each other on their Pinecone phones.” “Kids will smell a moral a mile off. [But] if you can impart some sort of tiny life lessons in a fun way, then why not.” “I wrote the kind of book that I would have wanted to read when I was eight or nine. Maybe that's why it worked…. I was obsessed with animals and nature, but also, of course, being that age, obsessed with my friends, my family. I loved starting clubs.” “Eva is always starting clubs, too. Family and friends should always be the most important thing at that age. It's everything. But if you can get in some fantastical adventure—of course, the main characters fly. They're like superheroes.” “Every chapter ends on some sort of cliffhanger, so it makes [readers] want to pick up the book the next time.” “I hear from lots and lots of parents, [saying], ‘My child has learning difficulties. My child has dyslexia. Or my child is a reluctant reader. And it was Owl Diaries that got them reading every night, and now we look forward to story time.'” “Eva the Owlet, based on the Owl Diaries series, will be released on Friday, March 31, in over 100 countries. I have seen a tiny bit of it, and it's just amazing how they've brought my illustrations to life. It's 3-D. It's beautiful. It's funny. It's fun. It's fast-paced. It's cute as anything, and they still got the diary-writing element in. Obviously, I like it because it's based on my books, but it's such a classy show. The girl who voices Eva is just an incredible talent.” “Many studies have shown the educational benefits of children reading aloud—vocabulary, comprehension, understanding what they're reading, and confidence in their own voice. Reading aloud just affirms the value of reading…. But you're never going to get a kid to do anything by [listing] the educational benefits of something. So for me, that's not the main reason you should read aloud. The main reason is it's fun, and it's about sharing stories. To be human is to want to share stories.” “Films and TV are great, but books put you in the action.” “If you're reading a funny book out loud, and the person you're reading to laughs, my goodness, that's an amazing thing.” “Any book you like is better read aloud if you can share it. And it doesn't need to be books. It can be comics. My 10-year-old gets a fantastic kids' newspaper. He'll read aloud his favorite stories.” “In terms of picture books for young readers, you just can't beat The Gruffalo (https://www.amazon.com/Gruffalo-Julia-Donaldson/dp/0142403873/ref=asc_df_0142403873/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312695551910&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12390668749136214304&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9004077&hvtargid=pla-526333533028&psc=1®ion_id=373786) by Julia Donaldson. It's so fun to read aloud. Part of the success of The Gruffalo—it's a fantastic story, and kids love to hear it—is parents love to read it. It's funny, but the flow, the rhythm, is just so pleasing.” “For older kids, I do think a scary book is a great read-aloud. My favorite would be The Graveyard Book (https://www.amazon.com/Graveyard-Book-Neil-Gaiman/dp/0060530944) by Neil Gaiman. It's about a boy raised by ghosts in a graveyard. Each chapter is a story in itself.” → Special Thanks Producer: Constance Gibbs Sound engineer: Daniel Jordan Music composer: Lucas Elliot Eberl → Coming Soon Akim Aliu Introduces Dreamer A Conversation With Ruby Bridges

Celebrate World Read Aloud Day with MLC! Listen in to five of our staff reading selections from five different books written by five different Mississippi authors.

In this episode, we've made World Read Aloud Day a family affair. Author Tami Charles and her son, Christopher, join host Suzanne McCabe to discuss Tami's picture book, All Because You Matter, which was named the Best Children's Book of 2020 by Amazon. Next, author Varian Johnson and his daughters, Savannah and Sydney, read from Varian's graphic novel, Twins, which was chosen as a top-10 graphic novel of 2021 by the ALA Graphic Novels & Comics Round Table. Then, author Aida Salazar and her children, Avelina and M.J. Santos, read from Aida's brand-new picture book in verse, In the Spirit of a Dream: 13 Stories of American Immigrants of Color. Created by the nonprofit LitWorld and sponsored by Scholastic, World Read Aloud Day is celebrated in more than 173 countries. The annual event takes place this year on February 2. Participants are invited to grab a book, find an audience, and, yes, read aloud. Research shows that reading aloud provides several benefits to children. It helps strengthen their cognitive development, improve their vocabulary, and increase their attention span. Best of all, it fosters joy. As one teacher told us: “My favorite part is when I look up and see ‘that look, that smile' that tells me I've hooked one more reader who will fall in love with reading for a lifetime.” Special Thanks: Producer: Bridget Benjamin Associate producer: Constance Gibbs Sound engineer: Daniel Jordan Music composer: Lucas Elliot Eberl

Mrs. Doran's humanities classes reflect on how listening to books read aloud has shaped who they are as readers. Students share memories of listening to books, and favorite titles.

Good morning Rose City. It’s Wednesday, Feb. 5, World Read Aloud Day. Wednesday’s weather should be rainy, with a gusty southwest wind and a high in the upper 40s. Here are headlines from Pamplin Media newspapers: In Portland: More Oregon students will be able to attend Portland State University for free next year, thanks to changes to the school’s popular tuition program. PSU's Four Years Free program covers four years of tuition and fees for qualifying students.

In honor of World Read Aloud Day listen to a few ideas to think about when reading aloud to the children in your lives. When we read aloud we model the process of thinking through texts as proficient readers. We also discuss considerations for organizing books, thinking about books, and talking about books. We hope that every day is read aloud day! Let us know how it goes...happy reading! 

Today we're going to celebrate World Read Aloud Day by reading part of Mother West Wind's Children by Thornton W. Burgess. We're picking up from our 10 minute episodes last year where we were testing microphones. This time our story is "Why Peter's Ears Are Long." 

READ TO ME is the podcast to listen for what we love, inspired by the Gateless Writing method. In this episode, we celebrate World Read Aloud Day with SHE CAME TO SLAY: The Life and Times of Harriet Tubman by Erica Armstrong Dunbar. We get to love a middle-grade nonfiction book with driving action, pairs of nouns that start fires, scenes of historical violence that do not fetishize or dismiss Black pain, and Black history right at the heart of American history.

In this episode, Claire meets with Christina Gabbitas: an author, publisher and honorary member of the NSPCC council. Throughout the episode, Christina talks about how she uses her writing as an opportunity to open up conversations about hard-hitting concepts such as abuse and knife crime. She discusses her shyness as a child and how she overcame this, channelling those childhood fears into her writing. Christina talks in detail about the research she carried out in preparation for writing her book ‘Share Some Secrets’ which involves speaking up about abuse. She discusses the impact this book has had in making children feel comfortable and able to share troublesome secrets: having calls from Norway, Singapore, Australia and Switzerland to thank her for providing this resource. The conversation also covers knife crime and how she was approached by the Police and Crime Commissioner’s office to write a story to explore the effects of this issue. Talking openly, Christina describes real-life stories of victims of knife crime, as well as discussing the choices and consequences children face. Christina offers advice and reassurance on developing teachers’ knowledge of safeguarding, concentrating on how research through conversations can broaden perspectives on what is such a difficult part of the job.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Stories can open up a conversation with the children. Creating a dialogue may make children feel more comfortable and willing to share ‘secrets’ or any troubles that they may be facing. Exposing the children to honest and frank conversations can prepare them and make them feel like they are not alone. Speaking to people can broaden safeguarding horizons. Through research where she has spoken to children, victims and other members of the public, Christina has become aware of a whole host of issues people face as well as recognising warning signs people may exhibit. There are lots of these signs, and it can be hard to identify which are a cry for help. You may think a child is okay because they seem ‘happy go lucky’ but this might not be the case. Teach the children the difference between good secrets and bad secrets. It is important for children to know the difference between good and troublesome secrets which is a difficult concept for them to understand. This links to common news articles stating how children have been abused and carry it through adulthood without speaking out about it. If they are taught this critical difference earlier on in life, would they feel more confident to speak up? Deal with hard-hitting issues in a non-scary way. Stories can present difficult topics in a way that everyone can relate to. Christina’s aim is to prevent children from feeling scared and through offering them a support network. Books can make this accessible through use of imagery and rhyme. Benefits of reading aloud. Reading aloud and interactive sessions can have a hugely positive impact on the children. It gets them involved and engaged in high-quality texts. Incentives such as World Read Aloud Day (on 5th February) can be used to promote this practice. Educating teachers about knife crime. Knife crime is on the rise and is not just an issue in London. It is moving to other cities and towns across the country. It is important that educators understand how children get involved in knife crime. It is also crucial to let the children know: these are your choices, these are your consequences.   BEST MOMENTS “Writing for me is therapy, but is helping other children.” “If you never try, you never know. Better to try and fail than not try at all.” “Sometimes we don’t know what we want to do. We take opportunities, we take those opportunities, we make the best of them and learn from them.” “It’s the power of media; the online media is quite amazing. But the most important thing to me is actually it is helping. I know now that it is helping children to speak out. So that’s one of my greatest achievements in life I would say.” “I think if you can educate children from a young age without it being too scary but just kind of giving them the idea. Prevention is always better than trying to pick up the pieces afterwards, isn’t it?” “Children are carrying knives because they think it’s going to protect them, but statistics are if they are carrying a knife, they are more likely to get stabbed with a knife or harmed with a knife.” “Again it’s educating children and the wider society about what’s happening.” “You’ve got to be everything: you’ve got to be a teacher, you’ve got to be a social worker, you know, you’ve got to be a counsellor. And it’s really hard and I do think that teachers should get more help within schools, I really do.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES Christina’s Website: https://www.christinagabbitas.com/ Reach Out, Speak Out Abuse of Power Safeguarding Conference – 12th March 2020 (Use code C20 at checkout for 20% off ticket price): https://allevents.in/mobile/amp-event.php?event_id=1000066099634787 World Read Aloud Day website: https://www.litworld.org/worldreadaloudday Share Some Secrets Book: https://shop.nspcc.org.uk/products/share-some-secrets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeIO4v9c9RU Ineqe Safeguarding Group: https://ineqe.com/ No More Knife Crime Website: http://nomoreknifecrime.com/ The Teachers’ Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheTeachersPodcast/ Classroom Secrets Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClassroomSecretsLimited/ Classroom Secrets website:  https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/ LIFE/work balance campaign: https://classroomsecrets.co.uk/lifeworkbalance-and-wellbeing-in-education-campaign-2019/   ABOUT THE HOST Claire Riley Claire, alongside her husband Ed, is one of the directors of Classroom Secrets, a company she founded in 2013 and which provides outstanding differentiated resources for teachers, schools, parents and tutors worldwide.
