It is just so frustrating that districts and/or teachers think kids can/will find the value in these books in 9th grade. What are we sacrificing as we drag them thru these? What makes them a must-read at this age? How to create non readers!@triciaebarvia
If we know grammar in isolation doesn’t work...
Vocabulary in isolation doesn’t work...
Reading or writing strategies in isolation don’t work...
How can we possibly think that all of those skills via a packaged computer program will lead to transfer in student reading or writing?
I bet Jennifer Serravallo, Penny Kittle, Lucy Calkins, and Donalyn Miller could each make at least 100K a year on Teachers Pay Teachers. I'm hoping that during the 2018-2019 school year teachers spend more time reading books by the names above, and less time on TPT.
