How to Learn a Foreign Language | Graham E. Fuller

I‘m catching up on my French. I keep meaning too. Haha! I took it and passed in high school, probably just barely. Mom is going to help some. She‘s good with written French and grammar. It‘s a beautiful language!

BethM I‘ve been wanting to do the same. 2w

I was really gladdened by this statistic - I worried it would be much lower. ❤️

Pedagogy of the Oppressed: 30th Anniversary Edition | Paulo Freire

pick

I cannot recommend this book enough - it may not be the most “fun” read because it is designed to critically teach and not entertain - but it is necessary and thus, riveting. A famed Brazilian educator who grew up in the slums of Recife, Paulo Freire believes that real, “consciousness-raising” education consists of knowing what our world is, how it came to be that way, what other and better ways we could imagine it, and how to realize those ways.

Nonfiction Matters: Reading, Writing, and Research in Grades 3-8 | Stephanie Harvey

Last year my goal was to read at least two nonfiction books each month. I almost managed it, with just two months being a book or two short. This year I'd like to try again and this #MonthlyNonfiction2025 challenge sounds perfect to keep me on track! I'm interested in paying more attention to which section each book falls into, even if I don't hit them all.
Thanks @julieclair for putting this together!

julieclair I‘m impressed with your record from last year! And so happy that this challenge will be useful to you this year. Glad to have you with us! 😃 2w

I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban | Malala Yousafzai

pick

Malala is such an inspiring girl, strong in her beliefs from a young age and resilient in the face & aftermath of attack. I learned a lot about Pakistan and the Taliban. It's so eye opening to have a perspective from someone who has lived through it, without our western bias

#Nonfiction2025 is here!

Around the world there seems to be unrest, division, and just generally unhappy populaces. So this year we will look at famous movements for change and of resistance, what drives people to push for change, why, and how.

🎶“Look what's happening out in the streets
Got a revolution, got to revolution”🎶

As always, this is a make it a way that works for you challenge, a little revolt is good for the soul after all ⤵️

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ and we do not all need/want the same from our reading. So Bingo, Four Squares, Coverall…. Whatever works for you. And you can pick a book specifically about the topic, someone related to, or any lightly connected book you want. Examples Below ⤵️ (edited) 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Earth Day and Climate Change books are plentiful, you can also read about individuals in the movement from Greta Thunberg, to Al Gore, to Bill Nye, but you can also read about nature, the earth, etc. 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa March of the Mill Children was against Child Labor. Again, you can go straight to the topic, or a book that has children or about children, or a child‘s experience, or written by a child…there are some great books out there written by non-adults at the moment. 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa You can be as creative as you like, if the topics bore you or pulls you down, use your imagination….not up for the People‘s Revolution… maybe Prince and the Revolution are more your mood. Please have fun with it. (edited) 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa #Nonfiction2025Template 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa If you need suggestions or to brainstorm ideas, just ask… the idea is to encourage a bit of nonfiction reading this year that‘s it. 3w

ncsufoxes I love these prompts. My reading fell off last year & I‘m hoping to get back into my usual groove. I‘m a big non fiction reader 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ncsufoxes I hope it helps you and inspires you to pick up a few nonfiction this year. (edited) 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @ncsufoxes my reading fell off really bad last year too, so I‘m also hoping to get my groove back 3w

Singout Yes, yes, yes! Thank you for doing this again amidst your busy life and thank you for these amazing prompts! 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Singout You‘re very welcome, now find good books! 3w

Deblovestoread I need this motivation to get to the NF on my shelf! 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Deblovestoread I hope it helps! We all need motivation sometimes 3w

Singout Not to be a nitpicker, but aren‘t the Singing Revolution and Baltic Way about the same thing? Unless there‘s another Singing Revolution than what comes up quickly in my search? 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Singout same movement, different styles & dates. I believe one was more like Hands Across America back in the day and one Singing specifically. So more options for odd connections too. So similar to both lunch counter sit-ins, bus boycotts, and marches in the Civil Rights movement. I thought they both provided great connections for other reading choices & connections. 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa ↪️ my examples are definitely a give away that I am an American, sorry about that 🫠 3w

Singout You don't have to apologize for being American, we need as many Americans like you as we can get! *Looking nervously across Lake Ontario* 😬 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Singout 😂 I read my answer and thought, wow, that is a specific country history centric example list. 🫠 (edited) 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Singout there are a lot here, and we glance nervously around too. (edited) 3w

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Lizpixie 3w

Lizpixie Thank you! There‘s been a lot of revolution in my country too, especially around women‘s rights and Indigenous rights. Not to mention the rest of the world. America is definitely not the only country that‘s had idiots in power.✊ 3w

MallenNC Thanks for doing this again! It will be interesting to see what I can match up with the prompts this time. Seems like a lot of options. 3w

I realized I still needed to post my #Nonfiction2024 bingo card. Some of these are only lightly connected to the prompt but I did it! I always enjoy mixing nonfiction into my reading year.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Great job! And lightly connected is ok! 3w

MallenNC @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Thanks! I always think I‘ll just do one bingo then I get ambitious. 😊 3w
