Welcome to Litsy!

4 ⭐I picked up Amelia Bedelia to see if I had changed from when I was a child. Now it‘s a level two reader for I can read. Which, for as many words as is in Amelia Bedelia seems low. It feels like it should be a level three at least if not a level four. It does not appear changed, which is lovely. The story of the housekeeper who always misses things and does things the wrong way, but in such a loving way that everyone loves her for it. I

This book had a lot of bingo spots on the #ISpyBingoFebruary @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks. It was a cute book, but I found the character annoying. No one can be that clueless, can they? It has an apron, a messy bun, and stripes on the painters' clothes.

One of my personal favorite podcasters — Kate Kennedy from Be There In Five — is BACK on today‘s episode of my book pod, this time for a deep dive into Peggy Parish‘s Amelia Bedelia. We chat about everything from our shared early love for this series and Amelia Bedelia reboots to ageism and what it really means to dress a chicken. 🌸 Listen at the link in my bio!

Amelia Bedelia by Peggy Parish is a humorous realistic fiction book about a maid who takes directions literally. This can show kids how words can mean a completely different thing based on the context that it is in. The UDL strategy is 2.3 because it supports decoding of text and the ESOL strategy is 20 because we can list important word from the book. The teaching strategy would be a read aloud.

I had to go back to a childhood favorite for this prompt! Amelia Bedelia was given a new look in the 21st century, but the very first book, and Amelia Bedelia Goes Camping, will always be my favorites. Ah, childhood memories! I'm pretty sure I tried to “dress the chicken“ and “draw the drapes“ at least once during childhood. 😆

Im so excited!! I managed to find an Amelia Bedelia book at Goodwill!

How do you keep track of articles you want to read but just don‘t have the time for?

I leave them open on my phone until I accidentally close them & yell, “SHIT!” 😅🙈💩

I know there‘ve gotta be better systems. I‘d love an app that stores them *and* reminds me to read them. Otherwise it‘s very much “out of sight, out of mind.”

Also: share some interesting articles you‘re looking forward to reading! I‘ll post mine in the comments. 🤗

Oh my gosh, this book is so silly! 😄 She takes all of her instructions literally and the results are hilarious! SHE DRESSED THE FREAKING CHICKEN! 😂😂 I had read some of these to my kids before but this first one is perfection. 3/1,001 #1001ChildrensBooks

Does anybody else get nostalgic and consider buying books they loved as a kid? No?.....Just me?....Ok cool....

Amelia approves of my new book cover! 🐾 #petsoflitsy #ferretsoflitsy

1. Amelia Bedelia is one of my long-time favorites.
2. Pie. I learned the art of flaky crusts from my moms, who learned from her grandmother. It‘s a tradition!
3. Sometimes my garden and, more often, swimming. Also genealogy.
4. I love right where I live, but I‘d like to spend winters somewhere warmer.

Amelia Bedelia is a RF written by Peggy Parish and illustrated by Fritz Siebel. This is a story about a girl who is hired to assist Mr. and Mrs. Rogers clean up around the house. The to do list is written out for her to complete while they are gone. Without realizing, she completes every task literally rather than the way Mrs. Rogers meant it. Amelia thinks she has done a great job but when they return, the Rogers disagree.

My sister and I were talking about this book today so hilarious. I loved this series as a kid so funny 😆

Amelia Bedelia is a comical and charming RF book are written by Peggy Parish and illustrated by Fritz Siebel. Amelia takes everything literally and will make children giggle when they read about her adventures. This would be an excellent book for IR in the classroom. I found endless activities at http://www.ameliabedeliabooks.com/teach-amelia-bedelia/

"Daddy why are you laughing?"

This is Amy. Or as I sometimes call her, Amelia (when she is being a stooge) or Amelia Bedelia Puppy Dog Butt. She's particularly in love with Second Smaller Human, always nearby during play, supervising exploration, and giving and receiving kisses.

This was my FAVORITE book when I was little. I used to carry this book around and read it till the spine started to fall apart! This RF book is a humorous story about a woman who takes a list of chores a bit too literally on her first day of work, but luckily her famous lemon-meringue pie saves the day!

I have a problem when it comes to humor in books. I gravitate towards the serious drama. Maybe I should go with the last book that I found wry in a self-deprecating way--A REUNION OF GHOSTS by Judith Claire Mitchell. Instead I return to childhood, and the delight I found in Amelia Bedelia's creativity. (Also maybe a little dread, cos I could be a rules stickler. 😱).

I thought these books were hysterical as a kid. Today, it reads like people are talking very awkwardly to Amelia just so she'll have something to misunderstand. "These chairs need to be painted. Give them two coats each." So she goes to the coat closet ...

It reads like a ten-year-old telling you a really long joke, where you could have figured out the punchline yourself if the kid hadn't telegraphed it the whole way.

Reaserching early readers with lots of words. Do any teachers or parents or librarians have any suggestions? #kidlit

I loved the crazy antics of housekeeper Amelia Bedelia when I was a kid. Funny story: there's a local grocery store here called Amelia's. My daughter-in-law and I call it Bedelia's. 😎📚 #FridayFunPhoto @Liberty
