Kids want to tell you about their lives.
They really do. Like, really. They want you to listen, to take interest, and to make comments about what they say. Do that. #RelationshipsMatter
@AveloAir My New Year’s resolution is to never fly with you people again!! Still waiting on my refund of the checked bag that I paid for…your website says if your bag is lost you will receive a reimbursement!! #crickets
PSA: There needs to be a bigger push to get structured literacy training into the hands of MS and HS teachers. They NEED the training too. Those struggling students from ES have moved on to MS and HS. They never received the help in reading that they needed.
I’ve finally listening to @ehanford ‘s podcast “Sold a Story.” Every school board member, principal, and truly every teacher should listen to this. It explains why, as a secondary reading interventionist, I am drowning in students. More than I can actually serve. #soldastory
Sold a Story continues tomorrow with Episode 4, The Superstar.
"If Beyonce came and gave a private concert in my district, it would not have been a bigger deal for many of my teachers."
"She was like a rock star walking into that building."

This podcast is a must-listen. It’s not only for other parents invested in their own child’s academic future; everyone should be invested in ensuring we’re setting up all kids for future success when it comes to reading.
Warning: have tissues close by! https://t.co/vh56LUGNwS

Difficulty understanding the SENTENCE can be a major obstacle to comprehension. It may be because Ss are unfamiliar with the complex syntax of written sentences. What can we do? Teach Sentence Combining and Sentence Reduction. @natwexler#teacher#writing https://t.co/ZNX02Qplzx
