🙁"¡Hola!" came to mind as he recalled learning Spanish, and the memory of taking his son to the children's museum—where the little one had an absolute blast—brought a smile to his face.

Elara took the position, her heart pounding with excitement, and she was eager to begin, eager to apply her talents, eager to join the lively artistic community of the town and engage with its residents.

I often get asked to support schools with the implementation of decodable texts.

Here’s a protocol that I would use with a printed decodable passage when students are learning a new sound-spelling correspondence. Simple steps, big impact!

Enjoy!

"He who does the work... does the learning."

When it comes to explicit and systematic reading instruction having students raise their hands is most likely a strategy that DOES NOT lead to improvement in the reading performance of MOST students.

To make this instructional shift (no longer asking kids to raise their hands to respond) many teachers will require support to understand why, and the alternatives to implement it.

By the way, Ms. Anita Archer is my instructional hero...

This is worth reading - especially if you’re involved in creating reading legislation, or trying to implement it. Lots to think about here.

Are we all up early listening to @ehanford? Fascinating to hear how Reading Recovery became so popular… and the problems with it! Will be listening more than once 😀

[Emily Hanford @ehanford]

Something I am grateful for? I learned to read easily. I'm a fast reader. It's helped a LOT on this project. I have read hundreds of articles/books about the science of reading over the past 5 years. I recommend 10 things here (was SUPER hard to choose).

@karenvaites @ehanford @smalltownpeddoc @nytimes @ldatko @WSOS_illinois These podcasts changed my entire view of reading after 30 years as an elementary educator. Excellent work.

Not new, but worth another look. Literacy is a vehicle for accessing content. #equity #scienceofreading

Sharing the outstanding Writing Scope & Sequence created by our PaTTAN MTSS & Literacy team along with IU partners, & lit. & writing experts, Goldsworthy, Van Cleave & Edwards-Santoro, an invaluable tool (IMHO)! Check it out: https://t.co/Y1bTWlWgxw @jalitiacollins

@laurenTarshis Story Works is such a highlight of reading lessons. The stories are high interest and the videos and vocabulary slide show help students build background knowledge. We use them every month as the lessons fit in with our curriculum nicely!!

Here's the most charitable thing I can say about this video. When will this woman (Irene, not Briar) ever go away?

@laurenTarshis I would love for you to visit with the students at Copeland Elementary in Houston, Texas. We love Story Works as well as the I Survived series!
