Literacy has long been a powerful tool in the pursuit of freedom.

On Juneteenth, we honor those who fought for justice and the right to learn while reaffirming our commitment to advancing literacy for all through high-quality, evidence-aligned instruction.

[Jennifer Serravallo @JSerravallo]

In Teaching Reading Across the Day, I share high-leverage lesson structures you can return to again and again—same structure, new content, deep learning. Using predictable structures gives us more room to respond, improvise, and focus on what our readers really need. @CorwinPress

Great morning and “WHAT’S GOOD” Wednesday!

I want to challenge you to PAUSE AND PONDER! Even in the midst of a storm, there are rays of sunshine! Even in the midst of uncertainty, there are some new possibilities.

👀Seek the positive and you will find it!
