Art can a powerful vehicle for exploring social and emotional issues with students.

What do you think these figures are thinking, are feeling?

Why? What in the image supports your view?

[Adolescent Literacy @AdolesLit]

An intriguing idea worth sharing.

"Fiction invites us into the writer's imagined work; nonfiction intrudes into ours and purports to tell us something about it." - Reading Nonfiction, p. 30.

This is a must read for all teachers. I hope many of us are asking the same questions as @pernilleripp.

I know I am!

Thank you for this important reflection!

Who reads to practice their reading skills?

We read in order to do something, find something, learn something — maybe even about ourselves.

The best direct instruction inspires students to want to know more, read more, learn more.

@ILAToday My colleagues and I have found that people often think of literacy culture as a classroom, but the best literacy culture is school-wide and community-wide. It involves everyone: teachers, crossing guards, administrative assistants, ELA and non-ELA staff, bus drivers...EVERYONE!

This racism is so normal to folks that even the woke ones talk about how bad it is "down south" while ignoring the reality that in their own school white kids get robust literacy while brown children get computerized babysitting in the name of "remediation". #cleartheair

[Tom Newkirk @Tom_Newkirk]

Reading fluency is about more than speed. The fluent reader is in sync with the writer, moving with the flow--and pauses--of language, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly. It's not a race.

@SecondaryRead @ctovani Kudos to our 2017 Adolescent Literacy Thought Leader Award recipient @ctovani on the podcast. Continuing to advance our thinking! Thank you!
