#WorldReadAloudDay is Wednesday, February 5! How do you plan to celebrate the occasion?

Each student wants to be seen.

Each student wants to be heard.

Each student wants to know their presence matters.

Each adult team member feels the same way too.

We’re teaching for transference. How do I teach these skills-any enduring literacy behavior? It’s not only the “teacher’s” way or a grade level thing.

Reflecting...what can we do, what can we study, what can we collaborate on to better support our students and staff?

I'm having a rare opportunity to tweet out my partner's truth gems today here @kahuiheluhelu! “Systems don’t change just because we know about them. Active Interruption does."-@MisterMinor

Let’s do the work! Get uncomfortable. @MisterMinor

There is no such a thing as “I taught it but students didn’t learn it”

Hope all of our Hawaii educator friends had an exciting first day back at school!! Wishing you all an awesome school year!

So true in the times we’re in

[John Lewis @repjohnlewis]

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Do not become bitter or hostile. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. We will find a way to make a way out of no way. #goodtrouble

Thoughts? Please add to the convo!

Q3: What does explicit and systematic #phonics instruction look like? What have you found to be the most effective methods of teaching phonics? #ILAchat

[KaHui Heluhelu @kahuiheluhelu]

@LindsayKemeny @ILAToday 👍🏼 some research shows weak readers rely heavily on context due to limited site words and poor phonics deciding skills. They are not noticing letter sequence - Kilpatrick, 2015

[KaHui Heluhelu @kahuiheluhelu]

Exciting!!

I'm looking forward to interviewing Kevin Henkes at #nerdcampmi tomorrow.

Brief on phonics

[ILA @ILAToday]

“Phonics instruction depends on the characteristics of a specific language; students who learn to read in multiple languages apply phonics that fit the respective letter–sound, pattern and meaning layers.” https://t.co/jCh9Utj8iW

This photo-- a gift from Penny today. Don Graves, the person who grounded my teaching for 40 years by simply saying "Tell me more," each time he pulled up a chair to be eye to eye with each child. @pennykittle @HeinemannPub Thank you, PK!

What are you reading?

[ILA @ILAToday]

Summer is upon us in the U.S. #WhatAreYouReading this summer? What are you recommending to students?

[KaHui Heluhelu @kahuiheluhelu]

Well said!! Who will try? 👏🏽

[Tom Newkirk @Tom_Newkirk]

I have one simple, no-frills, no expense, obvious way to engage students with writing. Allow them to write at least one longer piece of fiction every year. So many of them crave the chance to imagine a world and operate in free space not defined by rubrics.
