A2 ch10 Reading communities can be created through read alouds. When we read books and get passionate about them, they get excited too. Students start talking, sharing and then go and find more books like the read aloud. #TWEhowl #SparksInTheDark

Q2: How do you develop passionate reading communities in our classroom? Before or after school?#twehowl #sparksinthedark

[Mayte Dilla-Otero @MayteDilla]

Q4 Educators are challenged on a daily basis because there is always something new to learn. At first, the change in teaching reading and writing was a challenge, but it helped me grow as a teacher. I tell my students that I’m learning along with them. #sparksinthedark #twehowl

Q1 chapt 8 I’ve always encouraged my students to take every opportunity and moments as a writing experience. So many small moments come from their daily lives and everything that surrounds them. They just have to take time to stop and observe. #sparksinthedark #twehowl

[Mayte Dilla-Otero @MayteDilla]

A4 I set aside time to read for myself as much as I can. It is not as nearly as much time as I would like. I do not set aside personal time for writing unless it’s an email or text. #twehowl #SparksInTheDark

A2 When students participate in discussions and share viewpoints, they learn how important it is to listen and respect others opinions. It also creates a welcoming environment where they know everyone does not have the same viewpoints and it it’s okay. #twehowl #sparksinthedark

[Mayte Dilla-Otero @MayteDilla]

A1 I have given my students choices on what books to read during independent reading. The only condition, it has to be the genre of the unit we are studying. With choice, they are more invested in the reading and responding to it.#TWEHOWL #SparksintheDark
