This blog post gives the history behind Dr. Tim Rasinski's work in this area. It is loaded with great ideas for improving reading instruction in grades 1-5. .https://t.co/I8tNns8GMr

FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL!

Gossip doesn’t build schools. It breaks them.
If you took part in it today, you’re part of the problem—not the solution.
Be better. Do better.
Culture starts with you.
