I just wanted to say thank you for all you do to help me and others in my field! The support of your resource has been even more important during COVID and I am so, so thankful. Also thank you for creating a Spanish version of This Day in History!!! I recommend you to my colleagues any chance I get.

I like the Aesops fables too
Welcome to Golden Carers
You will not be disappointed with this group
There are many intelligent creative members here
I always used the chicken soup for the soul stories
I think the shorter stories are best
It is important to be excited and engaging when reading a story
Let the residents give their opinions about aspects of the story
You can use many types of short stories as long as you make it interesting and exciting for the residents
Golden Carers has short stories you can use
I have found Limericks great for reading time and dementia so I bought Eduard Lear's collected works. The greatest thing is that they are short and can be printed big for residents to read aloud.
I also have a book of Irish History (I work in Ireland) written for tourist with very short chapters that I use.
