On Monday, March 25, 2019, I spent the day reading Playground Heroes<\/a><\/em><\/strong> to students at Sudlersville Elementary School in grades 1-4. Many of the students remembered me from my visit last year when I read Jamal and Me<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. They were an enthusiastic and engaged audience and asked a lot of insightful questions once the read aloud concluded. They then completed grade appropriate follow up activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reactions to Playground Heroes<\/em><\/strong> from students:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

\u201cOnce again, Carol Franks-Randall enthralled students at Sudlersville Elementary School with her most recent book, Playground Heroes<\/strong><\/em>. Students were able to empathize with the character, Charlie, who was bullied on the playground. After reading aloud her book Playground Heroes<\/strong><\/em>, Dr. Franks-Randall challenged students to consider ways they could be a \u201cplayground\u201d hero. Children relate easily with the characters in her books; we can\u2019t wait to see what\u2019s coming next from Dr. Franks-Randall!\u201d Pamela Renfrow\/Media Specialist, Sudlersville Elementary School<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWell the main reason I liked the story was because the heroes were female kids, so I feel like that can inspire other young women to stop more than just bullying. Another reason I liked Playground Heroes<\/strong><\/em> was the illustrations. I think they really help explain what\u2019s going on in the story.\u201d Female student, aged 10<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI like how the author puts her grandchildren in the story. I also like how it inspires many many people to be a buddy not a bully and more. I also like how Zoe and Elle stood up for Charlie, their friend! Another reason is that there\u2019s a moral to the story on how to stand up to bullies and to treat people how you want to be treated. That\u2019s my quote on Playground Heroes<\/strong><\/em>.\u201d Male student, aged 10<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A big thank you to Pamela Renfrow, Library-Media Specialist and Rebecca Van Aken, Reading Specialist for working with me to make this happen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
