What's New

Mark Weakland Literacy YouTube Channel
My business video channel for teachers (bit.ly/MWLitYouTube) is stocked with one and two minute literacy videos that clearly demonstrate teaching techniques, multi-sensory learning routines, phonemic awareness activities, and more. At the site you'll also find a sound-letter song, a kindergarten engagement activity, and an idea for an inexpensive "take-home bag" that a district can use to help primary grade children more easily learn during remote teaching times. I hope to have Kid Writing lessons and other activities up for kids (as an aid to teachers this fall), so check in now and again to see what's new.

​My latest books are out and boy do they look great! Published by Black Rabbit Books, the six-book series is part of the BOLT imprint, which offers a unique hi/lo informational books for struggling and reluctant readers. To be honest, I don’t follow sports closely, but researching the achievements of the featured athletes left me inspired. With skill, practice, and unrelenting determination, humans can achieve great things! blackrabbitbooks.com/bolt.php
