@ZelenskyyUa @POTUS The trump administration is disgusting and I’m embarrassed to be an American. I’m dismayed by the comments of Americans condoning Trump’s actions on this thread. Stand strong, Ukraine.

@susanmitton68 Susan- If you'd like to help, please do. Please don't use this as an opportunity to get followers.

[Kristen Beach @KristenDBeach]

@EricFalcon59646 Thank you! And yes, any little bit helps. Thank you. Also sharing helps spread the word.

[Kristen Beach @KristenDBeach]

@susanmitton68 Hi Susan - thank you for willingness to help. Let me know if I can answer questions.

[Kristen Beach @KristenDBeach]

@SolutionPascal Hi! Yes of course we are having trouble rallying support -- I think mainly due to trust, which I understand. That's why we are trying to use our social capital to help this family.

[Kristen Beach @KristenDBeach]

@albany_1111 inboxed you!

[Kristen Beach @KristenDBeach]

@sierral_lewis6 Yes- absolutely. If the questions would also benefit others with the same question, let's have the discussion publicly. Otherwise, perhaps message me?

Major props to the city of #CharlotteNC for promoting literacy and the science of reading at The Green in uptown.

@margaretmckeow2 100% agree that students inferring words from pictures before getting a meaning explanation is likely NOT the way to go, especially for teaching new words to children who have limited vocabularies to begin with.

The gift comes after years of hard work by our @CLT_COED literacy faculty, and is the most recent funding development of work headed Drs. @ErinKWashburn , @MSFitzge, @SamanthaGesel, and myself. I could not be prouder of our college and faculty.

@DrToste @UTAustin Are you all done recruiting for this? I have a 4 year old as of 10/25/2021… doesn’t look like that meets your cutoff date?
