Pippa Park Books Come to Life in Video Series!

BY FABLED FILMS PRESS


Middle graders aren’t reading for pleasure like they used to, and educators, booksellers, and families want a solution to get them excited about reading and sharing stories with their peers again. One part of such a solution is to meet tweens where they are – on YouTube and TikTok – and this is precisely what a video diary series from Fabled Films Press aims to do. 

Based on the bestselling AAPI middle school books by Erin Yun, Pippa Park Raises Her Game and Pippa Park Crush at First Sight, this video series reflects and reinforces the themes in the book: friendship, girls’ sports, peer pressure, family, and Korean American identity.

When used together, the Pippa Park book program, video diary series, and tween activity kit are perfect for book clubs, summer reading, and year-round inclusive reading lists. 

Here’s how you can use these books and resources in your classroom or school library:

  1. Build Excitement: Encourage kids to watch the trailer for the video series!
  2. Video Educator Guide: As the kids read, watch the videos in tandem with the guide to create connections between the book and jump-start important conversations with readers.
  3. Tween Book Club Activity Kit: Engage readers with fun extension activities, including discussion questions, word games, a fortune teller craft, a playlist activity, and more!
  4. Pippa Park Escape Room Kit: Transform your space into an immersive escape room experience and challenge your students to work together.
  5. AAPI Discussion Guide: Accessible and age-appropriate, this guide helps readers explore Pippa Park by seeing the character through author Erin Yun’s personal lens as a Korean American.
  6. Common Core Language Arts Guide: This guide showcases lessons and activities that are aligned to curriculum standards.
  7. Recorded Virtual Writing Program: Author Erin Yun can visit your readers with her prerecorded writing workshop.
