My 12yo had a homework assignment to create a timeline of the influential books in her life. I LOVED what she did (and the books she chose!). Inside the books she wrote a blurb about how the book impacted her. ❤️
Teachers, parents, students: I've decided to start a daily read-aloud of WONDER! Still figuring out platform, to be announced next week, but I was thinking at 12pm every weekday: I'll read a few chapters and add a little commentary. Stay tuned for details. #WONDERreadaloud
In a 2017 study, students silenced their cell phones, stashed them away, and tried to ignore them outright. Silently, the phones fought back. A recent piece I did for @Edutopia.
@triciaebarvia You articulate this so well! Thank you for acknowledging that the struggles & completely valid concerns you name go deeper than any one teacher.
Whether you're a first-year teacher or a veteran, there are a lot of amazing events and opportunities coming up with NCTE this year. To help keep track, we've created a handy calendar--be sure to download your copy today! #NCTEvillage https://t.co/XpNjG7b6Aq
In primary school, my mum couldn't read and my dad was working 16+hour days. A teacher at my school would always bring a picnic and read with me on Friday eves. That huge amount of kindness and love she shared has made stories a huge part of my life 📚❤️ #NationalReadABookDay
Students should be read to on a daily basis... #NewELARTEKS check out @rpageou during her read aloud of Wolf by Becky Bloom. #r12literacy#readaloud @Region12ELAR @larisoja @Christa56765794
