Professional athletes will get tested multiple times a week to ensure that their sports are safe.
Educators aren't guaranteed any tests for them or their students. They must put 15-30 kids in a room & "make it work"
https://t.co/bTwwzhXTah Quick read on The Science of Teaching Reading. "It's not the teacher's fault--in too many cases the teacher was never shown how to teach reading properly." Teacher's need high-quality training & PD! You can't teach what you don't know. #READ5373
More than 300 children in Texas day cares have caught COVID-19, and the numbers are rising | https://t.co/ldTc88kmOZ https://t.co/1rPcvTPtOs @teainfo@GovAbbott and y’all still think opening up in the fall is a good idea!?😬🙃

Check out this blog breaking down The Five Pillars of Reading. Pillar #1 focuses on PA. Guess what? This is a major predictor of students reading and spelling success. Include word games, rhymes, and even tongue twisters in your lessons. 🙌 #READ5373
I loved reading about Cognitive-Processing Lenses in #LOR. Gough's Model is a "bottom-up" approach. Reading comprehension is a two-step process. Students need BOTH strong decoding and language comprehension skills! Also, loved TPWSGWTAU 😁 #READ5373
There is a lot to unpack from "literacy." We live in an ever-evolving technology-centered world. The #multilitericies theory states that students need to be literate in many different ways! Writing, reading, iPhones, texting, blogging, computers. I can keep going... #READ5373
Let me shout this out for everyone 📢 BUILDING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH YOUR STUDENTS IS ESSENTIAL! I'll quote the great Rita Pierson... "Every kid needs a champion." Be their champion every day and watch their success soar! They need you! #AffectiveLens#READ5373
Our students cannot focus on learning/reading when their #physiological needs are NOT MET. Let's control what we can & ensure we have water & nutritious snacks available in the classroom. Don't forget about the importance brain breaks & physical exercise, too! #Maslow#READ5373
