@thriftycars My issue had no resolution. I was a happy customer previously but I will not use thrifty again. Unacceptable.

[Lana Bates, Ed.D. @_drbates]

@thriftycars I have a complaint and can’t seem to get past your automated phone system. I need a call back asap for issues with p/u at BWI.

I have yet to receive a package that has been 45 min’s away @FedEx for a week. Unbelievable @fedexhelp

[Lana Bates, Ed.D. @_drbates]

@FedExHelp I have two packages that said out for delivery multiples times and I have never received them. What is going on with Pooler, Ga Fed Ex?!?!?!?

[Lana Bates, Ed.D. @_drbates]

@FedEx The same thing is happening to another package that was supposed to be delivered last Thursday!!! 🤯🤯🤯

[Lana Bates, Ed.D. @_drbates]

@FedEx 2 days my pkg has said out for delivery and BOTH days it’s gone back to the warehouse w/out being delivered. #furious #noexcuseforthis

[Lana Bates, Ed.D. @_drbates]

@FedExHelp I sent my information but no response - Customer Service told me it will be here tomorrow and hung up on me. This is truly outrageous!

@lisacollumceo I'm a Reading Coach in South Carolina and I'm very interested in learning more about your curriculum! Are you available for Zoom sessions? I called your office and am waiting for a call back but would love to chat with you if possible. TY!

@DFISHERSDSU I would say the colleague doesn’t know the difference between high frequency words and sight words.

I am sad to hear there are schools throwing out entire guided reading libraries. There is a place for these books with good scaffolding by Ts. Guided reading is an important piece of the gradual release to independence. #readeveryday #readingmatters #edchat #readingforpleasure

@CiteSomething Awesome! 📚💙

@OSHP How is I-71 from Lexington Ky to Columbus Oh? Are today’s conditions improved?

[Lana Bates, Ed.D. @_drbates]

We must not swing the pendulum back to the Reading Wars. Decodables are not THE answer. Authentic texts are not THE answer. Phonics? Yes! Avid reading? Yes! Explicit instruction? Yes! Independent reading! Yes! SOR is a piece of the puzzle, not the solution.

[Lana Bates, Ed.D. @_drbates]

The importance of intrinsic motivation for reading is well-researched. The gap in practice is motivating digital natives. Scholastic Lit Pro is one option students found motivating and teachers found helpful. @ScholasticEd @ScholasticTeach #edtech #Read #Readers #readeveryday

So now I'm a literacy specialist with 3 degrees in Reading and I'm wondering... what's next?

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

We need to model regulating emotions and how to handle conflict with students.

Remember not to take things personally. 🙌
