Proud of all the educators out there traversing the range of emotions of returning to in person learning & balancing those same emotions for their own families as mothers & fathers. I see you, recognize you & I am humbled by you! Thank you for what you do for students every day!

Students in the math classroom need to develop language skills as well as the ability to think and reason mathematically. This resource provides guidance and examples of math routines to use in your instruction now! https://t.co/77DVxCTVbE #mathchat #iteachmath

Based on research presented in the Placing Text at the Center paper, this supplemental quick-reference guide addresses both short- and long-term strategies for improving reading skills: https://t.co/BAO4ABQDHN #reading #elachat

Should we alter the reading benchmarks because of the pandemic?

When @JoeBiden says to educators- you now have one of your own in the White House - I’m stoked for educators everywhere! Our students, our children are winning!

Dr. Anita Archer always provides so many great instructional ideas based solidly on reading research! Did you know that research suggests 10-15 min dedicated to spelling instruction every day? ✏️ 📖 #TRLConf2020 @Alabama_Reading @reading_league

Are you a primary grades teacher? A parent with kiddos at home learning to read? Want some content and practice resources? We got you! Check out the Early Reading Accelerators new posted by @achievethecore https://t.co/A6mtp8t8s3

@JJackson_HCSD Wow! What a wonderful way to communicate with your community!

[Sarah Lupo @DrSarahLupo]

This sums up what I always share with teachers and schools: don't forget about reading level, but stop focusing on it. And reading leveled texts after first grade is not helpful. Kids ARE NOT UNMOTIVATED by challenge.

[Timothy Shanahan @ReadingShanahan]

So much lost reading instruction during the pandemic: what can the concerned parent do?

I defended my dissertation today! I am a Latina. I am a Mexican-American. I am a daughter of immigrants. I am a minority. I am a woman. I am 29 years old. All the odds were against me but thanks to God’s grace and favor I made it. Officially Dr. Aguilar Martinez!
