Purchasing a new curriculum is NOT the solution to ensuring that all students get what they need in order to learn to read. Check out @colleen_cruz post and consider what needs to be talked about in order for #lastingsolutions amd #impact https://t.co/KZU74wKWRQ

One of the things we desperately need:

“Reading legislation that neither mandates nor bans practices or policies, but provides a funding framework that supports educators as autonomous professionals.”

@Chriswielga Marvelous

Today, some of the books that shaped my life—and the lives of so many others—are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives. And librarians are on the front lines, fighting every day to make the widest possible range of viewpoints, opinions, and ideas available to everyone.

[PartnersinLiteracyDenver @PartnersinLitD]

@Susan_Wroble Absolutely!

@Chriswielga Such a loss.

[PartnersinLiteracyDenver @PartnersinLitD]

@DrMaryHoward Such irresponsible reporting.

[PartnersinLiteracyDenver @PartnersinLitD]

Give kids books, answer their questions, spot their confusions and give them time and love.

"As I have examined in my scholarship, journalism in the US has only two false stories about education—crisis and miracle."

Are you listening NYT?

[Literacy Council of North America @mylitcouncil]

“I’m calling on the Times and other media to report the whole story…why are we letting public relations spin doctors shape literacy policy while ignoring what major researchers have to say?”

The kids who judged the CBSA did not all start as identifying themselves as readers. They became readers as they fell in love with these books and defended them to each other. We will continue to promote these books until next year's nominees are announced in Feb 23.

@ArtGardner So beautiful.
