Not Just a Dot
Not Just a Dot | Loryn Brantz
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Dot is feeling a bit underappreciated. After all, Dot is only a dot, and what good is a dot? It looks like Dot could use a reminder of his important place in the world. How could a person see if he only had one dotted eye? And what would a dalmatian be without all its spots? More importantly, how could children ask for sweet treats without the dot in a question mark? Dot is about to get a big lesson on just how important he is—because there’s a special spot for every dot in this world! From author/illustrator Loryn Brantz comes a witty story about confidence and value. Interactive dialogue and illustrations encourage readers to point out missing dots on each page and makes Not Just a Dot a wonderful tool for teaching self-confidence.

Not Just a Dot is a fun (F) picture book by Loryn Brantz, and the message is beautiful.you are not just a Dot. You have a purpose and the you have value!I think this would be a great book to (PR) because both the reader and the listener have an interactive part. UDL principal (8.3) foster collaboration and community, and EL strategy (2) small group collaboration fits perfectly with the idea of PR. #ucflae3414sp18

KaitlynN I couldn‘t find much as far as classroom resources, but this website (http://www.multiplication.com/our-blog/elicia-zahm/not-just-dot-book-and-lesson-plan) gave me an idea! I would love to use Dot to demonstrate the importance of punctuation. We can see Dot (our VERY important character) in so many symbols that authors use to make meaning (.?!:;). This could also be a tool to introduce to EL students. 7y
DrSpalding What a creative idea! Be sure to proof your posts as there are many errors. Looks like a cute book! I‘m adding it to my stack. 7y
