Let me shout this out for all the middle school teachers: Middle school kids are NOT👏🏻TOO👏🏻OLD👏🏻to benefit from a class read-aloud novel!

[National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) @ncte]

The read-aloud:
1. Builds empathy & understanding
2. Scaffolds cultural engagement
3. Cultivates the power of deep listening
4. Creates excitement for the beauty of vocab & grammar
5. Fuels happiness

Another great thread from @Suchmo83 regarding reading in primary grades. To sum it up simply: more time spent with 👀 on texts!!

[Christopher Such @Suchmo83]

In the most basic terms, reading lessons involve a mixture of reading text and responding to it (i.e. discussing text or producing written responses).

And I think that in many (if not most) primary schools the balance between these two things is *way* off.

A thread... 🪡
