Friends brought over leftover Eid cookies and I will try not to eat them all in the next 24 hours.

Send good vibes to those of us who still have two more weeks of school.

@LizStepan @rodjnaquin Yes. That's how I've paired students, with some adjustments for partner dynamics.

I use a very similar strategy (Who or what is most important? What's most important about the who or what?) (I actually wrote a book which includes details of how I use the strategy!)

@AbbyTeachesDSM Same with every other graduation except finishing high school. Eighth grade? Just have a pizza party or something .

@JAustinEDU Not an expert in what? Karen knows more about curriculum selection and policy than most. She’s correct in this post. Our local school district has made this same error despite having lifelong educators making the decisions - bc they are not well versed in literacy research.

[EvidentlyReading @EvidentlyR]

@JAustinEDU There are many ways to gain expertise.

[EvidentlyReading @EvidentlyR]

@EvidentlyR Wouldn't this describe Karen? She's never been a teacher or a school or district leader.

[EvidentlyReading @EvidentlyR]

"people who have influence but lack expertise" ... So much bad policy can be explained by these words.

[Karen Vaites @karenvaites]

Fortunately, we have actual reading researchers chiming in to address the misconceptions.

HT @HollyLanePhD.

It's a real problem that state leaders have alternate impressions.

@MrZachG So... Reid Lyon is the villain? Did not see that coming.

[EvidentlyReading @EvidentlyR]

This is a must watch! I took pages of notes ... It's just that good.

One of the best things about being an educator in Texas is that you will almost certainly get breakfast tacos on in-service days.

Now that I'm in WA, I'm constantly underwhelmed by the Costco muffins they call breakfast on PD days.

[David Griscom @DavidGriscom]

This has sparked a lot of dumb taco discourse that’s exposing all the Yankee Republican influencers as the wannabe Texans they are

[EvidentlyReading @EvidentlyR]

Interesting, though not entirely surprising, look into the cognitive factors that contribute to reading.

I describe Text Tracking in detail in my book, Reading Beyond the Basics.

Scenes with lots of action can be challenging for my students to comprehend, so we created this image to track the action in Ch. 18 of The Last Hope School for Magical Delinquents. Kinda reminds me of Cy Twombly.

@ksliz22 WHAT?!?

[EvidentlyReading @EvidentlyR]

@timlriley Call 988. We want you to stay.

[EvidentlyReading @EvidentlyR]

@ksliz22 There's a little more nuance, but that's basically correct

@MrZachG I actually learned to read in large part from watching Sesame Street.

@CreditFlex @MrZachG @AJPettway1 Sad! I can't take a day off to make the drive. :(
