My extremely brilliant 2e girl struggles with reading and has ever required significant prompting and straight supervision in club to read for herself even though she devours audiobooks at the 4th and 5th grade level. She finds near early readers boring because they are so far below her spoken vocabulary and language level. Nosotros got a random Danny book put in our library asking as a substitute. That began a summer of reading where nosotros checked out every Danny book the library had and my daughter read them all, multiple times and regularly without prompting or supervision. The reading level was where she needed information technology to be, but the related content between books created a story globe that held her more avant-garde interests. This helped her reading fluency drasticly improve over a curt period of fourth dimension. We are planning to motility on to the Danny Chapter Books for her reading in the fall.

I was a RR teacher before retiring eight years agone. I bought many Danny books and moved them all with me when I retired. Since then, I have read the books with a neighbor boy and used them when I volunteered at a nearby school. Bee was always a favorite in my classroom and in retirement.
Now I accept two grandsons who besides love Bee. Alistair is not yet two, just could place which books had Dad as a graphic symbol. He as well pointed and said NO while reading BEE: THE Commencement. And he besides exclaimed OH NO before I could turn the page showing Bee covered in mud. When we FaceTime with Al, he always requests to see Bee (the blimp guy) before saying hullo to us.
Our younger grandson Charlie lives nearby and merely turned one. Bee goes on every stroller ride and automobile ride. Charlie'southward favorite Danny volume is DANNY LIKES RED. The apple page cracks him upwardly every time.
When I taught I loved Danny books, my students liked the books and and so did their parents. At present I can share the joy with my little guys. Cheers for such lovely books.

If I remember correctly, Mia was trained in Reading Recovery. I was a Reading Recovery Teacher Leader for many years and perhaps that is why her books resonate so much. In that location are and then few companies that truly understand how to consider font, impress layout, sight words, picture support, sentence structure and appoint readers the way your books do. We did a complete overhaul of our classroom libraries nigh 10 years ago and we have well-nigh all your books across our K-2 as part of our libraries and all your characters are like family members to our students. Whatever we can do to go on the students' literacy on track while connecting with their favorite characters during remote learning will exist a win/win.
Thank you for all you lot do!

At early levels one-3, my students love Danny. My students dearest All Almost Danny, Super Danny, Expect at Danny, & Danny Likes Crimson. They like the photographs, as opposed to drawings. In Danny Likes Cherry, I like that the pattern changes a bit and they have to monitor with known words. I apply these books considering of the anticipated pattern, picture support, edifice on known words and make clean lay-out on the page. My students enjoy getting to know a character and reading books at increasing levels about that character.

My third course students just completed MOVING. I thought this book would be perfect as a "last" Danny book, a way to say goodbye to Danny. Even so, they don' t want to exit Danny behind and have plenty of ideas for future college leveled books about Danny!

I am a Special Pedagogy Teacher and I wanted to let you know how your "Danny" books have helped one of my students. My student is a 2nd grader who is learning disabled. Along with this, he has struggled over the years to bear correctly and complete his work. This is the starting time yr he has e'er read a book. Information technology is because of Danny. He loves the real pictures and how we're following Danny through the events in his life. The consistency of the writing allows him to feel comfortable when starting a new Danny book. He wants to know more about Danny, such equally why he can't see dad'due south face in the pictures and why y'all're not in the pictures if you're the author. I told him I would write to y'all for more than information. While we understand that you are a decorated writer, aught would make this niggling boy happier than to know that he contacted an author. This kind of an accomplishment would assist him to strive to be a better student and continue to work difficult to overcome his inability. I would personally like to thanks for writing these books with a student'southward needs in mind.
Note from MRB: Author Mia Coulton receives many letters from young readers wanting to know more than about Danny, Norman, and Bee. Some letters include pictures or drawings. Mia enjoys hearing from Danny'southward fans and personally answers every alphabetic character.
