@uahdelta @BrookeCurleeARI @CodyRowell76 @AnthonyJBuckner @Alabama_Reading @DillardLayne @dalehancock @mwilsonliteracy The PAUSE model is a powerful way to guide the setting of evidence-driven literacy goals for all levels of support - classroom educators, school leadership, and district leadership! Thank you for sharing the learning in Dawson's 1st-grade classrooms!

It’s day 4 of #summerlearningweek and @TCSBoardofEd is spending the day advocating for summer learning programs on Capitol Hill. Our students did an AMAZING job telling why summer learning programs are so important and sharing stories of how they have been positively impacted!

Author Mel Ilk's 2 favorite words are 'systems' & 'structures'. Curious about using systems thinking to meet literacy needs in schools, districts, & states? LETRS for Administrators is Mel's passion. @Alabama_Reading @LexiaLearning

You did it! With great emphasis on intentional planning & implementing coaching structures, you made a HUGE impact with AL 3rd-graders. You pushed your students to excel & they did! Thank you to all the many educators, community members & families who have poured into students!

[ARI / The Alabama Reading Initiative, ALSDE @Alabama_Reading]

The Alabama Literacy Act was passed in 2019 to help improve reading in AL public schools to ensure students are reading on grade level by the end of the 3rd grade.

@BCSTigers The celebration of the year-long writing partnership with Amazon was uplifting! The 3rd graders were excited to be featured as the face of the project. Questioning author Nadine Luke & her son was such a treat. #publishedworks coming soon! @Alabama_Reading

@ARI_TMorgan @Alabama_Reading @BhamCitySchools @DeniseGuyton4 @wbny @bshepherdnbct @ALSDEOSI These hallway blending lines are a golden learning opportunity to show students that print is everywhere and that practice happens outside the classroom! Neat idea!
