If you read a book a day to your child, they will have heard and seen 1,825 books come alive in their minds by age 5. Amazing! Parents, immerse your children in books.... https://t.co/yTa7vmkKiz
We need to read aloud frequently to preschoolers. I am wondering - - do our second language learners need similar exposure? Could this be what is lacking in most ESL language programs? Close proximity contact with another person while reading a still picture book?
I did not know that babies look to adults to see what to focus on. Reading is a great way to connect and disengage from devices. I love learning about baby brains! https://t.co/PfxH7mLPQv

This is a good article which cites many examples of how movement heightens memory. Teachers are encouraged to use their hands & gesture more frequently. Research by @SpencerKagan shows it is more effective to get students gesturing & use kinesthetic movement to cement learning.
It's amazing that a bit of movement (in this case strolling with a partner) frees up inhibitions or hesitation about talking. Thanks for the clarity, @rickatkagan!
Did you know that motor activity can diminish anxiety so that students become less inhibited while talking? @GRRECKY educators engaged in a Stroll-Pair-Share in today’s #WinWinDiscipline Day 1 workshop to experience the #Kagan Progressive Follow-up Same-Side Chat.
If your students aren't following your directions, stop frontloading so much and show them what to do. Modeling increases their ability to understand directions and therefore do it correctly!
I ❤️ these chips in a 5th grade at Fairfield East! During the @KaganOnline structure Talking Chips, the students turned a chip upside down when they contributed an idea to the discussion. When all team members had both chips facedown, they flipped them back over & continued.
