Nothing tests student’s’ ability to read words better than reading continuous text. #fpliteracy #fountasandpinnell #guidedreading #nccbus

If you don’t know what you’re trying to teach in the lesson, then guided reading is not helping kids build brain power. #fpliteracy #fountasandpinnell #guidedreading #nccbus

[Fountas & Pinnell @FountasPinnell]

Running records are every bit about us as teachers as they are about the students. They give us evidence of the effects of our teaching. #fpliteracy #fountasandpinnell #guidedreading #nccbus

A5 I Massive doses of read aloud, shared reading & independent reading! When we bathe kids in books, they begin to connect to authors they love as their unique voices will begin to emerge. #G2Great #FromStrivingToThrivingWriters

[Dr. Mary Howard @DrMaryHoward]

Instead of looking at what kids say/do/write and saying “they don’t get it” look at what they say/do/write and ask, “But what DO they get.” Love this positive stance.

I use this cartoon in workshops, often. Reading first and foremost ought to be about enjoying the story or enjoying the information. If we read only to practice a skill, we might create someone who can paraphrase but not have created someone who loves the journey. https://t.co/BgGwyPRhFv

Ours belief and our actions have to match. If not then our beliefs are only empty words! https://t.co/kvben5tdw6

Do I always say struggling readers need to read to improve their skills? No. Absolutely not. Sometimes I say they should read more.

[Kylene Beers @KyleneBeers]

Readers read. They read to learn, to grow, to escape, to know. They read to laugh and cry. But always, they read. #DisruptingThinking

And this is just plain AWESOME! https://t.co/pg7VLQ3N50

[Dr. Mary Howard @DrMaryHoward]

That oral sharing can level the playing field so kids can rehearse their thinking before committing it to paper! It helps ME write! #G2Great https://t.co/QYwDe1d54s

A1 If Rs aren’t responsive,
not letting texts awaken emotion or inspire thoughts, they can barely
be said to be reading at all. #g2great

[Kylene Beers @KyleneBeers]

A6 If we convince kids NF is simply for answering, for extracting, not for becoming we will never become a nation of readers. #G2great

[Kylene Beers @KyleneBeers]

A2 Responsive reading begins with choice and choice is not a level. #G2great

@sharonfrost1973 @pnp002 @wordpressdotcom I agree completely! Open-ended questions open the mind to bigger ideas and deeper comprehension.
