Students, parents, and teachers. Don't forget that summer reading helps to stem the summer slide and keep students' literacy growing throughout the summer!

.@AldineISD families! Encourage your high school student to read over the summer months. Help them increase #literacyskills, #achievement & prepare them for #college. #SummerReading https://t.co/cmEOM7ssPW

True! Teaching decoding and other skills means NOTHING if students do not read books to use what we have taught. I was a struggling reader until I found books that I WANTED to read. Until then, I was just a struggling DECODER. @AldineISD @MargauxTeaches @ReadandWriteBFF

[Fountas & Pinnell @FountasPinnell]

Children read books to learn how to read. It might sound simple but children reading wonderful books is the root of becoming literate. #FPLiteracy

@ReadandWriteBFF @OrangeGroveRoar It will return! Just like Shangri La!

Exactly why independent reading is crucial. Language experiences at school alone will not bridge the gap. Don't widen the gap further by using student lack of motivation for reading as an excuse not to set expectations for independent reading. Motivation is OUR job! #Allin4Aldine

This image from Life Hack beautifully illustrates what books do for our students. If you do not believe an independent reading program should be part of your instruction, you should reconsider. My life would be so much less without the books I read as a child. @ReadandWriteBFF

[Cindy Benge @DrCBenge]

Aa child of limited means, I built my background knowledge by reading about things and places I had never been. I thank God for books. #AllinforAldine
When was the last time you read a book, or a substantial magazine article? https://t.co/LYhFxlyEVP

There is no such thing as "just reading."

[Kylene Beers @KyleneBeers]

A principal recently told me that some parents don't want their kids "just reading" while at school. He asked what research he could share to show those parents that "just reading" has ACADEMIC benefits. Here it the chart I shared. #DisruptingThinking

[Cindy Benge @DrCBenge]

I hope that teachers who have no systematic independent reading program in place will think about this . . .

[Dr. Lisa Edwards @ReadandWriteBFF]

Such a great group of students to work with. It’s evident that the classroom teacher has built relationship and has set her students up for success. @rachel_velotas @niedzagoodbook

Love that these teachers and students love books! @AldineISD
