Consistently reminding students that refining their skills comes from attempting tasks and learning from errors can serve as a potent motivator for sustained focus.

Repeated reading is not the only option for building fluency. Reading lots of texts only once, often w/ an adult or peer listening, correcting, defining words, &/or asking comprehension ?s, also has pos effects on fluency & comprehension in a # of studies. https://t.co/2zy2ETq0g8

This week we put out the final episode of Crash Course Black American History. We worked on this series for over 3 years and put out 51 episodes spanning the transatlantic slave trade to the Black Lives Matter movement. I’m so proud of what we made.

Students in a highly effective classroom average a cumulative 90 minutes of daily reading. We cannot teach reading effectively without ensuring we are creating time and opportunity for our students to have their eyes on text.

@KristaPodolny @dantey114 Amazing! It is wonderful to read these letters that show such deep knowledge and appreciation of an incredible story, author and graphic novel!

1/2 K - 3: If you agree with the statement below, a next step is to ask yourself: Do we devote a significant amount of time to science & social studies instruction every day (e.g., an average of 45 mins/day EACH & led by Sc & SS, not ELA)? @ClassroomWonder https://t.co/inaDvW15Ig

“But for students to learn the lessons that #civilrightshistory has to offer, they have to learn more than the ‘Master Narrative,’ the version of the movement that reduces the struggle to Rosa Parks sitting down & Martin Luther King Jr. standing up.”
