50 Great Books For Parents And Teachers

By Katie Lepi

Not too long ago, we posted a graphic that highlighted 50 must-read books for teachers. They ranged from books on lesson planning to classroom management, and real-life classroom stories. I stumbled upon this handy infographic, which is clearly just a different iteration more geared towards parenting. We know that many of you are parents yourselves, so some of them may be more relevant to you based on what age your kids are (or what grade you teach, in some cases) we thought it was worth highlighting a few gems that will be relevant for anyone who is a teacher – regardless if you’re a parent or not. Beyond the ones we’ve noted below, take a look a bit further into the list – many of these may be good recommendations to make for the parents of your students, depending on the situation.

Physical Books Vs E-Books

Physical Books Vs E-Books

By Katie Lepi 

Going paperless has its advantages – it is eco-friendly, keeps the amount of stuff you need to lug around to a minimum, and lets you keep all of your reading material in one place. E-readers have lots of supporters – myself included, especially when I am traveling. But I love physical books, too. I love feeling the paper, progressing through the pages and noting how the thickness of the left side as I move through the book, and I love sifting through the options in a bookstore. Despite this, I use my Kindle more often than not. So what’s up with my totally less than faithful relationship with physical books?

I know I’m not alone in my love for real books AND the practicality of using an e-book. The handy infographic below takes a look at the top reasons for choosing a physical, lo-fi, analogue, hard copy book over a digital option. 1,000 people were polled to find out their reasons. Are you a physical book loyalist, or are you in the e-book camp? Leave us a note in the comments and tell us why!

Physical Books vs. e-Readers

Why choose a physical book over a digital version?

• 65% report they like the feeling of a real book
• 61% feel physical books help them learn better – such as having the option to have physical post-its, highlighters, etc.
• 58% like being able to lend and borrow physical books
• 53% report they like the visual aspect, the covers, pictures, etc are better in physical form
• 45% report that they like physical books so they can re-sell them when they’re done with them
• 44% like collecting physical books
• 44% enjoy gifting physical books, because you can’t put a bow on a download, and gifting something digital feels impersonal
• 42% prefer shopping in bookstores compared with swiping and clicking online to buy digitally
• 11% can’t give up the way a physical book smells
• 9% report they want to ‘show off’ how smart they are/what they are reading

Some Great Books For Teachers

Some Great Books For Teachers

By Katie Lepi

If you’re a teacher, you probably don’t have oodles of free time on your hands (unless you’ve thrown lesson planning and grading your students’ work out the window!), but when you do, a good book recommendation is almost always welcome (trumped only by a good wine/beer/food recommendation!). I always enjoy a good ‘beach read’ when I need something brainless (read: flaky, easy reading), but sometimes I’m up for something with a little more substance. What better than something that can help you out in your classroom or professional life?

The handy infographic below is a great list of 50 awesome books for teachers to read. From teaching strategies to teacher humor, and cartoons and real life stories, there’s a bit of something in here for everyone. Take a look – you can see what’s on the list that you may have already read, and you’ll likely find something new that you’d like to take a look at.
