Revered teacher, librarian, and story ambassador John Schu explores anorexia-and self-expression as an act of survival-in a wrenching and transformative novel-in-verse.

But another voice inside me says,
We need help.
We're going to die.

Jake volunteers at a nursing home because he likes helping people. He likes skating and singing, playing Bingo and Name That Tune, and reading mysteries and comics aloud to his teachers. He also likes avoiding people his own age . . . and the cruelty of mirrors . . . and food. Jake has read about kids like him in books-the weird one, the outsider-and would do anything not to be that kid, including shrink himself down to nothing. But the less he eats, the bigger he feels. How long can Jake punish himself before he truly disappears? A fictionalized account of the author's experiences and emotions living in residential treatment facilities as a young teen with an eating disorder, Louder than Hunger is a triumph of raw honesty. With a deeply personal afterword for context, this much-anticipated verse novel is a powerful model for muffling the destructive voices inside, managing and articulating pain, and embracing self-acceptance, support, and love.

Winner of the American Indian Youth Literature Award, Michael L. Printz Honor winner and many other awards and nominations, this book is a must read. The term "Apple" is a slur in Native communities across the country. It's for someone supposedly "red on the outside, white on the inside." Grades 9-12. In Apple, Eric Gansworth tells his story, the story of his family-of Onondaga among Tuscaroras-of Native folks everywhere. From the horrible legacy of the government boarding schools, to a boy watching his siblings leave and return and leave again, to a young man fighting to be an artist who balances multiple worlds. Eric shatters that slur and reclaims it in verse and prose and imagery that truly lives up to the word heartbreaking. 272 pages

13. Conference Day - Science of Reading for School Librarians

Program: School Library System

Audience: School Librarians

Dates: 3/14/2025

Learn about the science of reading and how this impact our library learners. Walk away with ways to support our library readers, with expert speakers and focus on school libraries and their impact on our students. This workshop is in collaboration with OHM and MO BOCES School Librarians. How can you, the school librarian, support the 90-95% of students for whom reading proficiency does not develop "naturally"? And what can you do to support classroom instruction as teachers learn decades of science about how the brain learns to read? While read-alouds play an important role in developing language, they are only one part of developing a proficient reader. Incorporating knowledge of English as a morphophonemic language system can be fun and engaging for you and your students. And curating resources such as decodable readers and materials for building phonemic proficiency supports the teachers you serve as they teach the foundational skills. Kelli Johnson has been an education professional for over three decades. She began her career as an elementary teacher thinking all children would learn to read as easily as she had. How naïve! Thankfully, the opportunity to study under Dr. Benita Blachman put her on the path to discovering the science behind preventing and remediating reading challenges. Following that experience, Kelli was afforded numerous opportunities to use her professional training and experience in a wide range of positions: supervising student teachers, teaching graduate/undergraduate courses, and serving as an Elementary Literacy Specialist for a federally-funded research project. Kelli also worked for a national non-profit organization as a reading coach director and community education and engagement specialist. Most recently, she served as an Adult Literacy Coordinator for Madison-Oneida BOCES and is currently a Literacy Specialist with the Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement (CAREI) with the University of Minnesota. Welcome to the science of reading journey!

Max Num

Dates: 6/27/2025

The Reviewing Your Literacy Curriculum: Evaluating Alignment with the Science of Reading training was developed to provide participants with essential information necessary for preparing for and conducting a review of their district's current literacy curriculum. A school's core literacy curriculum serves as a critical foundation for all levels of reading instruction including for those students receiving supplemental support, intervention, or special education services. It is equally important for literacy curriculum to reflect the evidence-based content and instructional methods found in reading science as well as be free of practices that scientific research has shown to be ineffective or detrimental to learning. Participants will examine the purpose of regularly evaluating their literacy curriculum, review the key elements of the Science of Reading, and learn how to develop a curriculum review team. The training will also teach participants how to use the Reading League's Curriculum Evaluation Guidelines and Reviewer Workbook to evaluate their current curriculum for instructional gaps that should be corrected to provide students with highly effective and evidence-based literacy instruction. Finally, the training will address how participants can plan to address instructional gaps through implementing necessary initiatives and practices.

***Asynchronous- Trainings provided over a 2-week time frame to be worked on at your own pace. Feedback is provided throughout or via Office Hours after the 2-week window. ***
