@HelenProulx2 @mrbgilson I wonder if she has monogrammed towels? Did I just write that out loud?

[Erica Reardon @ericareardon]

This is such an important part of our curriculum that should not be undervalued or dismissed. Students are developing identities as readers &thinkers.The magic of falling in love with books doesn’t happen without commitment & efforts from our teachers! @MrsBBakerReads @allenelem

Students @allenelem enjoyed a fun morning in their cafe-themed library program aimed to help them find their "taste" in books. Read more: https://t.co/S2pTdE41z9

TY @JSerravallo & @TimRasinski1 4 reminders about the importance of fluency. It is the bridge 2 comprehension. When we teach fluency, we are also supporting students with the other aspects of the reading rope.

[Erica Reardon @ericareardon]

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about fluency & the role it plays in the sciences of reading: I’ve heard from many that have shifted 2 curriculums largely focused on phonics & decoding that students’ fluency has suffered.. https://t.co/FtsKXJ19dn

Planning for small groups early on in the unit so that once students are up and running so are we! This teacher is ready to meet his students where they are and give writers targeted feedback to move them forward as writers.

Grades 3-5 new writing units will give kids less time to work on one piece. They don’t needs to spend weeks on one piece. In place they need to rinse & repeat across the unit & produce more. @LucyCalkins

“Time to write daily is what leads to kids growth in writing.”@LucyCalkins

The most effective schools are characterized by having common values and methods around the teaching of writing @LucyCalkins

[Erica Reardon @ericareardon]

Thinking about all the ways shared writing can be powerful in the upper grades. We are using an anchor chart from the UOS, providing more prompts when needed, and putting students in the work right away. SW is a great way to immerse students in the new genre prior 2 launch!

@KateRBPS @srasteele215 Shoot me your email and I will share it with you!

[Erica Reardon @ericareardon]

These teachers dug in 2 👀 at student writing, planned for small groups, and we made a lab and went for it! The Rally, Try It SG’s support kids with immediate transfer and lots of practice. Keep up the great work @srasteele215

What a beautiful way to celebrate and publish. ❤️

[Lindsay Barna @litcoachmusings]

6th graders in Ms. Wright’s class published “golden lines” from their personal narratives along the sidewalk leading into school for all @BernardsvilleMS to enjoy.

Deep into a unit and not sure how to pull small groups? Middle school teachers used the bands of text complexity character strand to do research only conferences. We were ready to pull small groups right away.

When we know better, we do better.

Nell Duke: research says rainbow writing doesn’t work. Let it go. Move on to higher impact practices Like phonological spelling practices. Teach letter sound associations logically.

@MrsBBakerReads @allenelem @FISD_Libraries TY for your support of our fundraiser! You rock!

[Lizzie Hetzer @lizziehetzer]

Stop teaching memorization of high frequency words through chants. Shift to promoting phoneme grapheme relationships so kids understand regular vs irregular parts.

[Erica Reardon @ericareardon]

@trustingreaders @CarolJago Yes!!! 👏

[Erica Reardon @ericareardon]
