From the award-winning author of Ada’s Violin and Lifeboat 12, Susan Hood, this is a poetic and visual celebration of persistent women throughout history. In this book of poems, you will find Mary Anning, who was just thirteen when she unearthed a prehistoric fossil. You’ll meet Ruby Bridges, the brave six-year-old who helped end segregation in the South. And Maya Lin, who at twenty-one won a competition to create a war memorial, and then had to appear before Congress to defend her right to create. And those are just a few of the young women included in this book.
This beautiful Women’s History Month-themed book can be used in speech therapy to address social/emotional topics like persistence, confidence, and courage. It is also great for targeting inferencing. Discover more of the speech and language teaching concepts for using Shaking Things Up in speech therapy below:
