Children use analogy and go beyond letter-sound relationships to focus on how words look and how they communicate meaning! #TWUReadPop

Children don't simply memorize lists of words but LEARN how to think about words! #enableyourstudents #TWUReadPop

@nla1000 opened my eyes when she said that we should not keep correcting spoken language because we do not write how we speak! #TWUReadPop

[Payton Barksdale @pcbarksdale]

There will be endless opportunities for children to use language (for various purposes) in my future reading classroom! #twureadpop

[Christina Sharp @sharplearns]

Language is purposeful and is learned through USE. Students need to be allowed to experiment with language in the classroom. #TWUReadPop

The "-ish" book, and the idea that perfection is not always necessary, really "stuck in my brain" during class today! #TWUReadPop
