Good idea. I've also seen younger students go read to older students, and other teachers. #CFRECultureofLiteracy

#CFRECultureofLiteracy Our media specialist discussed a program that is happening in our schools called We Both Read. I continued the discussion with my principal and we decided to choose 10th graders to read to PreK students using our Read with Malcolm books. #ReadWithMalcolm

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

I love it. We should plan some themed reading events. I saw some interesting ideas. Thanks for sharing. #CFRECultureofLiteracy

👻BOOS AND BOOKS BASH! We collaborated for this Family Literacy Night in October🎃. We are currently planning a summer ☀️themed night in May to promote summer🏖️ reading. #CFRECultureofLiteracy

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

Yes, we usually try to plan some fun activities, invite community readers, etc. for RAAW. #CFRECultureofLiteracy

[Pamela Douglas @PamelaD40443712]

We are so excited about the upcoming Read Across America Week! We have been busy planning and getting everyone ready. This will be a week of fun with reading. #CFRECultureofLiteracy

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

I agree. Students need to know that reading is not just "school work", that people engage in it every day and actually enjoy it. #CFRECultureofLiteracy

[Latorri West @edurelevant]

Creating and environment where students understand the importance of reading and how it relates to indivisuals day to day is one area that the media specialist wants improvement. Volunteers needed: artists, doctors, lawyers, poets, etc. Make reading fun! #CFRECultureofLiteracy

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

Great way to use creativity and share great books! #CFRECultureofLiteracy

At our school, Implementing "Posters Promote" as it goes with our work on one pagers...student/teacher picks a book they have read and promotes it by creating a One Pager size of poster. Film the info for web site #CFRECultureofLiteracy

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

Media Spec wishes she could sponsor a book club after school & get more parental involvement. We will work together to put high interest books in PBIS store #CFRECultureofLiteracy

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

Yes, having access to a variety of resources helps students have choice and variety so that they can read topics of interest/relevance to them. #CFREDigitalResources

[Latorri West @edurelevant]

When charging students with the task of writing, it is important that they are given a myriad of different topics to write on. This GPB resource will be used to help students understand the steps of writing an information summary and essay. #CFREDigitalResources

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

Yes I was looking at free resources under Discovery Education. Sometimes you need a reminder that these things are available. #CFREDigitalResources

[Deborah Heckwolf @heckwolf]

Using GPB! Always a great resource. If a Microsoft school, using Teams and Stream site allows teachers to post assignments and videos from any source. #CFREDigitalResources

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

Thanks for sharing. We are planning for Black History program also. #CFREDigitalResources

[Pamela Douglas @PamelaD40443712]

This is a great resource. We are planning a Black History program and this will be great to share with teachers. #CFREDigitalResources

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

I'm always interested in learning about something to hook reluctant readers!! #CFREDigitalResources

[Lisa Harry @LisaHarry19]

In the past, I have used https://t.co/WDiQlca4Ne to hook reluctant readers. The writers publish their stories and you can search based on topics and interest. I give the students freedom to choose the topic then I review the text before they read it. #CFREDigitalResources

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

Being able to access these databases on mobile devices is news to me. #CFREDigitalResources

[mscarlahayes76 @Teacher766]

GALILEO 📱💻
While completing my Specialist degree, I used my friend's Albany State University Galileo account. I enjoyed using ProQuest Ebook Central. It is quite user friendly even on a mobile device. #CFREDigitalResources

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

Very interesting use of rubric for self assessment of expectations for gallery walk. They do not always give themselves the highest score. #CFRESinglePointRubric

[Lisa Harry @LisaHarry19]

#CFRESinglePointRubric for 9th grade Gallery Walk /Run

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

Because it is difficult to get middle schoolers to read for pleasure, I have used Novelists to find books similar to books they have enjoyed. #CFREDigitalResources

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

Great idea to evaluate notetaking. A lot of students struggle in college (some high school) because they don't know how to take good notes and study. #CFRESinglePointRubric

[Deborah Heckwolf @DeborahHeckwolf]

Single point rubric for Cornell Notes. Used this week and students responded positively #CFRESinglePointRubric

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

A very detailed rubric. If we can get them on track in 1st grade, by middle school they should be awesome! #CFRESinglePointRubric

[Pamela Douglas @PamelaD40443712]

#CFRESinglePointRubric
This rubric will be used for first grade writing.

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

Very thorough/detailed rubric!! #CFRESinglePointRubric

[Latorri West @edurelevant]

Single-Point Writing Rubric that can be used for Informational Writing. #CFRESinglePointRubric

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

Very detailed for specific assignment. #CFRESinglePointRubric

The what do you see guide can become a framework for developing written responses in any content. #CFREContentLearning

[Lisa Harry @LisaHarry19]

[Coretha Laurent @LaurentCoretha]

@DeborahHeckwolf First we are working hard to improve our students' reading. Good readers eventually make good writers. Setting clear expectations for writing and providing specific feedback with a sample for a guide helps also group collaboration on a writing piece.
