Posts written by Samantha Johnson

Samantha Johnson loves words, lists, and books. She spent a significant portion of her childhood trying to convince librarians to let her borrow more than the "allowed" number of books each week; happily, she sometimes succeeded. She says that her favorite picture book is "Bread and Jam for Frances" and her favorite chapter books will always be Beverly Cleary's Ramona series. As part of the AALP team, Samantha contributes to the All About Reading decodable readers and activity books, as well as book-related blog posts.
