Here are highlights from the links that I shared on Twitter this week @JensBookPage. Topics this week include: #BookLists, #DiverseBooks, #eReading, #GrowingBookworms, #RaisingReaders, #SocialMedia, #STEM, Battle of the Kids' Books, conferences, creativity, learning styles, parenting, play, preschool, reading, reading buddies, reading logs, struggling readers, teaching, and Women's History Month.
