A small tweak for better reading goals – Pernille Ripp
I think we are all really good at setting goals. But goals that we actually attain? Those are harder. So when I think of the reading goal work I do and have done with students, there is a small tweak that has made a big difference: including the why. And not in teacher lingo, but…
Using Self-Compassion to Help Readers Grow – Pernille Ripp
Another post first shared on Patreon, but one that is oh so relevant as we continue to attempt to build meaningful reading relationships. I came across a fascinating article that discussed the three pillars of self-compassion and how actively developing it can help us alleviate anxiety and depression. Immediately, my mind jumped to reading identity…
Let Students Speak Books: Simple Ideas for a Shared Reading Community – Pernille Ripp
I have been thinking, writing, speaking about reading identity and building joyful reading opportunities in school for more than a decade. Ideas still come, but at times, they slow down. After all, there are mnay tried and true ideas that still work, even as they get re-shared throughout the years. We finetune, we adapt, we…
Why don’t you read? A lesson for students – Pernille Ripp
Another post from my Patreon that I thought might be useful to others. After all, we are all faced with many who have deselected reading as something they spend time on, either by choice or by circumstance. And those kids, or adults, have more than likely had a lot of well-meaning adults try to help…
Rethinking Feedback: Shifting the Power to Students – Pernille Ripp
We know feedback matters. I think of all the ways I have grown because my students, my husband, my editor, and so many others have bothered to share their wisdom with me. Sometimes it stings. Sometimes it sits in the back of my mind, waiting for the right moment. And sometimes, it changes everything. And…
Protecting Our Practice: What’s Working and How We Keep It – Pernille Ripp
For the past 3 years, I have been sharing resources on my Patreon, with that being shut down, I figured I would share some of them here. This is one of my latest posts, I hope it is helpful. If there one thing that is constant in education, it’s change. I think it’s what drew…
Let Kids Reject Feedback (Yes, Really!) – Pernille Ripp
What if kids had the right to ignore our feedback? Not because they’re stubborn or disengaged, but because they understand it—and decide to make a different choice. Too often, feedback feels like a demand: Fix this. Change that. Do it this way. But writers? They get feedback, weigh it, and sometimes say, “No, I’m keeping…
If Kids Don’t Understand the Feedback, It’s a Waste of Time – Pernille Ripp
I haven't used this blog in a long time. With the move back to Denmark, navigating the world as a mom of neurodivergent kids, and just the world (waving hands around me), this blog has been quiet. But with the decision to shut down my Patreon, I also might just come back here more. After…
Race to 100 with 3D printed math manipulatives – Pernille Ripp
As part of our 1st grade work in math, we are heading into place value, ten pairs, and addition. So of course, one of the games we will be playing more than once, is Race to 100, a fantastic math game that can be used to teach addition, subtraction, place value and so much more.…
A Graphic Novel Gift Guide – Pernille Ripp
I love these end of the year lists that come out, especially now that I sit in Denmark and don't get to see quite the same amount of books written in America as I normally would. So I figured why not share some of my favorite graphic novels, starting with this gift guide in case…
Introduction to Visual Literacy Through Graphic Novels – Pernille Ripp
Wondering why this blog is more quiet? It's because I am much more regularly sharing and creating in my Patreon community. And right now, you can get a free trial. What might you find there? Units such as the one I just posted below. Giving students, and ourselves, further tools for how to navigate visual…
Embracing Change: Helping Students Break Free from the Self-Consistency Fallacy – Pernille Ripp
I never thought I would step out of the classroom as a teacher. There was no vision of my future that didn't have me being a teacher, yet taking a break from physically teaching and working in marketing as a brand writer has been an incredible experience. Not only am I now 100% certain that…

What We Owe – Pernille Ripp
As our kids are getting older, we talk a lot about healthy relationships, boundaries, and consent. Not just in romantic relationships, but in all the ones they have - with friends, with authority figures, with us. And one of the lessons we are teaching them is that they have the right to answer no. To…

How are you breaking your productivity guilt? – Pernille Ripp
I cannot be the only one who navigates productivity guilt. You know, that feeling of never having accomplished enough as an educator, or adult, and therefore not deserving of rest. The bad news? Productivity guilt can lead to major health implications, I know this, I have had major health implications the last 5 years of being…

Living in the Rain – Pernille Ripp
It has been seemingly endless days of rain in Denmark. A drizzle. A storm. A dusting. Sideways, straight down, diagonal to hit every part of you, relentless, endless. Every time you go outside, the rain pelts you, the wind blows up your umbrella - you arrive just a little bit soggy. Your hair a mess.…
My Mock Caldecott Picks 2023 – Pernille Ripp
Warning: I may change my mind. For the past many years, I have done a Mock Caldecott unit with students as we come back to school in January. The year is quietly winding down which means the reflection begins on which illustrations took my breath away. And there were many. This year being out of…

On Change – Pernille Ripp
We have settled in. Sort of anyway. The kids know how to get to school, when to leave, where the parks and library are. We meal plan, have Friday night movie nights, and try to be outside as much as possible as fall is here and the leaves are changing. We have ideas for how…
Using Improv to Boost Narrative Writing with Students – Pernille Ripp
When I speak to children about their writing a few complaints often come up; I have no ideas, I get stuck, I hate writing, and my stories are boring. I get their frustration, I feel the same way as I stare at my computer and try to be creative. Writing is often seen as a…
The Picture Books I Had to Keep – Pernille Ripp
I never thought I would pack up my classroom and move back to Denmark. I mean, I had thought about it. We had discussed it a lot. It was one of those "one day..." plans, but then this summer with a can't miss opportunity to work for Famly, one day became now and last week…
On Book Bans…Again – Pernille Ripp
I keep thinking about book bans. About the kids whose existence we say doesn't belong in the stories on our shelves. About the kids whose lives are not accepted in our spaces; classroom, libraries, hallways, and schools. About the lives we don't share in our book clubs, read alouds, or mentor text explorations. Because we…
On Moving Home 24 Years Later – Pernille Ripp
It has been three weeks since we landed in Denmark, the country of my birth that I left 24 years ago for the US. Twenty one days of an absolute whirlwind of getting our kids enrolled in school, starting my new job, moving into our temporary apartment, buying furniture, battling jet lag, doing all of…
5 Steps to Reading Reactivation for Dormant Readers – Pernille Ripp
I was in a reading frenzy the first week of summer vacation. Lounging on my nap couch, bringing a book to the pool, lying in my hammock, and feeling on top of my reading life. And then we went home to Denmark, jetlag and worries of the future crowding my mind, and all of a…
I Got Hacked… – Pernille Ripp
Yesterday, I received the following email about my Instagram account At first, I laughed but thought I would check my Instagram account anyway. And it was gone. No username, no email, no phone number. According to Instagram the more than 2,900 posts I have created never existed in the first place. I tried everything Instagram…
