@karenvaites @natwexler I just read https://t.co/NU3ipNlRlB
How do you suggest a teacher start making the move toward using a curriculum such as @ELeducation? Are there other #OER that you advocate for more?

[Natalie Wexler @natwexler]

@roseyreider @buffyjhamilton @Sue_Cowley I think it depends. There's definitely evidence that reading fiction can boost comprehension. See, e.g., this piece I did for Forbes on that (1/2):

Fayetteville and Hamilton Heights partnered with KSLA Franklin County to support the reading council’s military project. Students wrote letters that were packed inside boxes being shipped to local military men and women who are currently deployed.

This podcast sums up everything I believe about teaching reading and building my classroom community of readers. Once kids fall in love with reading and start to see themselves and their world through the books we read together, then all the other “stuff” just falls into place.

“The kids are coming in at different levels, different learning styles. So whether you’re a higher reader or a lower reader, we’re all going to break it down together.” Here’s what it looks like when students “collaborate” on reading.

The best way to sum up the experience of meeting Kate DiCamillo is to use a quote from one of her beloved books, “My heart is full all the way up.” #KateDiCamillo

@sarah_seylar My favorites are Mufaro’s Beautiful Daughters, Rough-Face Girl, and Anansi the Spider

[Stacy Musick @StacyMusick]

It has begun! Reading, writing, and talking about books! I love teaching 3rd graders to love literacy! #CASD #thirdgrade

@edutopia I’ve had my therapy dog Angel visiting my classroom for 11 years now. It’s always been “pawsitive” even for kids who are fearful or allergic. Even if a child can’t or doesn’t want to pet the dog, they benefit from the positive energy a dog brings to the environment.
