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:
