Writers think about different kids of writing goals! They then set a goal for workshop by writing it on a post-it and putting it in their workshop spot as a visual reminder. #FHLeads#tcrwp
It’s #worldreadaloudday! Did you know that daily reading aloud is proven by research to put them nearly a year ahead in school, regardless of all other circumstances! Yes! Plus it brings happiness and a feeling of wellbeing so it’s great all around!
“Conferring is where the magic happens. It’s the heartbeat of the literacy block.” @BeltonISD literacy teachers LOVE learning from @JSerravallo#BISDliteracylove
Anyone say book club? Belton ISD teachers love coming together to talk literacy! Discussions, next steps, and wonderings using Serravallo's book "A Guide to Reading Conferences." We are already looking forward to our next book club session. #BISDLiteracyLove#ReadingConferences
What's better than learning with your peers? Learning at a park on a beautiful fall day!! These Belton ISD teachers came together for our 1st ELAR/SLAR Pop-Up Learning Event-Falling for Reader's Noteboks. @BeltonISD#BISDLiteracyLove@mrsjenaragon@CandaceCohagan
My literacy heart was bursting with all things authentic literacy! Chisholm readers are growing with guided reading, responding to texts, writing personal narratives, and applying phonics to writing. Wahoo!

Resist the urge to fill your workshop with “extras” (especially as a management system). The gift of time to practice and apply learning is key to student growth #LiteracyTipTuesday#RSDreading#RSDwriting
My students loved the inspirational true story of Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah, and I loved the window it gave us all. Check out the Book Buzz for more great stories that offer windows and mirrors. @BeltonISD#bisdliteracylove
TOMORROW is the big day! We can't wait to welcome #EACHandEVERYstudent on the first day of school in our #BigRedCommunity. Listen to this quick message from Dr. Smith and don't forget to get a good night's sleep. 🎒
Reading aloud to kids is the best part of a literacy teacher’s day! And there’s some crazy substantive benefits in addition to the close community it builds!
