Response from *Lucy Calkins* to the #scienceofreading
"I’ve been asked to write a response to the phonics-centric people who are calling themselves “the science of reading.” I want to point out that no one interest group gets to own science. #ELAChat

Loved visiting @NewRiverElemen today with my literacy class. So many great things happening to support literacy development. Thanks @SonyaWilson02 for your time today!
A6: I love alphabet books with my emergent learners. Concepts books to teach content, alphabetic principles, and the connection between reading and writing. #ILAchat
@Sarah_hav11 I’ve also found it helpful to present writing tasks in authentic ways. In the preschool on campus, the students wrote a letter protesting the gendering of toys to Target. They also made posters to put advertise a fresh market. It didn’t seem like “writing.” #ILAchat
