In CCISD, it's our goal & expectation that all students continue to read a variety of books throughout the summer. Maintaining a reading habit will engage students while helping avoid the well-documented “summer slide” many experience. Click below for recommendations & resources:

Props to our ELA teachers! It is 8:42a and I have had 4 kids come out of ISS, (where they have computer access) to ask me to help them find the RIGHT book for them, not just some book, because they BELIEVE that book exists and WANT to read it! #cultureofreading @CreekReads

A principal recently told me that some parents don't want their kids "just reading" while at school. He asked what research he could share to show those parents that "just reading" has ACADEMIC benefits. Here it the chart I shared. #DisruptingThinking

Major brain vortex moment @CreekWildcats with @ctcoach and his PAP English class deciphering audience and tone in an excerpt from Maid by Stephanie Land - then experimenting with audience and tone in our own writing. @CreekReads

Looking at your book today, @getnicced! Nothing like the experience of a new book. Thanks, @thebillyeastman and @CCISD for getting books off the shelf and into student hands!

Our ELA Department Holiday Party was such a huge success! Lots of laughs and some much needed relaxation with friends...oh and everyone went home with a book! #cchsreads
