My students have benefited tremendously from using Typing Club in the classroom. This software has helped them learn the home keys and increase their typing speed. https://t.co/HVYMjjv4Mu

@sims_jamalUWA My students love Kahoot!

[Natalie Wexler @natwexler]

Only 14% of 8th graders read on their own almost every day, according to the NAEP--a new low.

One reason? A focus on teaching comprehension "skills" has drained the joy from reading.

And it hasn't boosted comprehension.

@AnndiCaldwell @Alabama_Reading I was in Cohort 2 and completed it a few years ago. It was tough but by far the best training I’ve had! I hope y’all are able to go back to face to face meetings. It was much more informative for me that way as opposed to virtual.

The Science of Reading (SoR) is a buzzword that is being heard all over the world of education. LETRs is a program that explicitly teaches YOU, the educator, all that you need to know about SoR. Alabama educators get to complete this program thanks to @Alabama_Reading

We’re in a literacy crisis. Our children deserve a better approach.

After decades of multidisciplinary research, the scientific community has achieved consensus—children need systematic phonics instruction to crack the code and learn how to read.

@Etress_UWA I don’t know who’s more excited with getting AMSTI kits: my students or me! They present the kids with a hands on approach and the fact that they furnish EVERYTHING needed for each experiment/lesson is huge for my bank account!

You're someone's "why," too.
