“You can make or break the soul of a child by the amount of attention you pay them. I know it’s hard for teachers, I know we ask them to do the impossible. But it’s teachers who helped to make me and it could have been teachers who broke me.” @MichelleObama#ncte21
No matter how brilliantly executed the mini lesson, if the child is holding a book he can’t read during independent reading time, the teaching won’t transfer.
Prioritize smarter book shopping and matching books to readers in order for mini lessons to stick.
We Need Diverse Books will no longer use the term #OwnVoices to refer to children’s literature or its authors. Moving forward, WNDB will use specific descriptions that authors use for themselves and their characters. https://t.co/TFAqNd6oXi
@hayhurst3 @Stephharvey49 @AnnieTWard Communication is big...but so is walking the walk! SHOW other adults that volume-related goals are just as essential as phonics-related goals 😉 #g2great
@hayhurst3 @Stephharvey49 @AnnieTWard@DrMaryHoward often we Ts think intervention means more intense instruction. If we’re always instructing, always talking, always directing when are we allowing for the time to try, apply, engage, enjoy?! #G2great
@hayhurst3 @Stephharvey49 @AnnieTWard#g2great Without question a well-stocked classroom (and school!) library with books for every and all identities. And....TIME to read those books...every.single.day. (With no “accountability” assignments attached!)
