My kids were so excited to pick out books for summer reading that they get to keep. Our media specialist @Mrscopeslibrary @oakparklions made this happen. #NoSummerSlide #myownbooks #readingisfun

How can instructional leaders at all levels partner with teachers to continually engage in educator learning that promotes continuous student present and future success? What do our students need us to learn? https://t.co/SYQDwRarOE

A big thanks to our #readingteam for orchestrating Project #nosummerslide Each of our students will go home with 10-15 books to read over the summer. We couldn’t do it without the help of many! #thanks @hubofschool @LiteracyPeeps

2019 Summer Reading Summit. What we do in the summer matters for children’s literacy. Keep reading behind the bell! @Jeff_Eakins @LiteracyPeeps @AlonsoHcp

Dorn and Soffos remind us, "Children become literate through active experiences with literacy."

➡️ Notice, they did NOT say, through volumes of worksheets, or phonics programs on the computer. These are experts. They've done the research.

Our annual Roadrunner Open-Mic Poetry Cafe was a big success! Students come with their class to the library to share and listen to poetry while enjoying refreshments. #nationalpoetrymonth #hubofschool @hubofschool @hcps_sel @achievementsch @jeff_eakins

A2. Start a staff book club to read more children's and YA books. Give attendees copies of the books for their classroom libraries or book clubs. #txlchat

A legendary retired teacher that use to teach in my school likes to borrow books from me. She was a big fan of The Line Tender.

FU: This summer I plan on reading SSYRA books and books students share over summer reading camp! Keeping track of rdng logs is actually more work for the teacher. Just independently read at school. If they want to read at home, they will. Ask parents what they need! #hcpsread

[Hillsborough High @HHSBigRed]

Great commitment from our students and teachers on our 9th and 10th Grade Reading Workshop! We've got this and Go Big Red! @HCPSArea4 @HillsboroughSch @HHSTodayOnline @LiteracyPeeps @Jeff_Eakins

A3) model, model, model
Get student input and have "expert" charts to assist when choosing books. The teacher can also share their reading life and how and why they choose the books they are reading. Be transparent! #HCPSRead

[Colby Sharp @colbysharp]

A1: I think we need to help our students learn about public libraries. I have so many fifth graders that haven't been to a library outside of school in YEARS. :( #txlchat
